Where is area code 011?

Answer 1

011 is not an area code or a country code, it is the international access prefix used in North America (country code +1; USA, Canada, etc.). When you see a country code listed as, for example, +353, the plus sign means "insert your international access prefix here," so, from the US or Canada you would dial 011-353 for Ireland.

There are some countries in which 011 is a domestic area code; see the Related Questions below.

Answer 2

There is no UK area code 01142.

The (0114) area code is for Sheffield in England. The local number has seven digits.

The "2" is not part of the area code, it is the first part of the 7-digit local phone number after the code. Local numbers begin with 2, 3, or 4. The other digits are for future expansion.

The number should be written as (0114) xxx xxxx or as +44 114 xxx xxxx.

(The plus sign means "insert your international access prefix here." From a GSM mobile phone, you can enter the number in full international format, starting with the plus sign. The most common prefix is 00, but North America (USA, Canada, etc.) uses 011, Japan uses 010, Australia uses 0011, and many other countries use different prefixes.)

Answer 4

UK telephone area code 0114 (international: +44 114) is Sheffield. The '3' is the first digit of the 7-digit local number.

In 1995, Sheffield changed from area code 0742 to 0114, and prefixed a '2' to the old 6-digit local number. Since then, new 7-digit numbers beginning with '3' and '4' have been added. However, it is incorrect to refer to area codes 01142, 01143, or 01144; the area code is just 0114 or +44 114.

(The plus sign means "insert your international access prefix here." From a GSM mobile phone, you can enter the number in full international format, starting with the plus sign. The most common prefix is 00, but North America (USA, Canada, etc.) uses 011, Japan uses 010, Australia uses 0011, and many other countries use different prefixes.)

Answer 5

011 isn't part of the country code, it is the international access prefix used from North America (USA, Canada, etc.). Country code +42 is an incomplete code; you need the next digit. +420 is the Czech Republic, +421 is Slovakia, and +423 is Liechtenstein.
