Where is telephone country code 029?

Answer 1

029 is the area code for Cardiff in the UK. Local telephone numbers in Cardiff are eight digits long, and usually start with "20" or "21". The three-digit area code, 029, can be omitted when dialing locally within Cardiff.

Cardiff numbers are commonly misquoted in the format 02920 xxxxxx, but this is incorrect. The correct format is: (029) xxxx xxxx or +44 29 xxxx xxxx.

Cardiff changed from six-digit numbers with the area code 01222 to eight-digit numbers with the area code 029 in April 2000.

Answer 2

029 is the area code for Cardiff in the UK, and is followed by an eight digit local number.

The 029 code can be left out when dialling within Cardiff.

Cardiff numbers are commonly misquoted in the format 02920 xxxxxx, but this is incorrect and leads to misdialling of newer Cardiff 21xx xxxx and 22xx xxxx numbers. The correct format is: (029) xxxx xxxx.

Answer 3

In the UK, the 0289 area calling code is used for BT geographic-based lines in Northern Ireland.

For example:

• 02890 Belfast
• 02891 Bangor (County Down)
• 02892 Lisburn
• 02893 Ballyclare
• 02894 Antrim
• 02895 Belfast
• 02896 (not allocated)
• 02897 Saintfield
• 02898 (not allocated)
• 02899 (not allocated)

However, some 0289 numbers may be allocated to other telephone service providers and therefore may be used for other areas or services.

Answer 4

A UK number beginning with 029 2 is in Cardiff, Wales, area code 029 (or +44 29 in international format). The trailing 2 is the first digit of the 8-digit local number.

Country code +292 (which would be dialed as 00 292 from many places) is unused.

There are several other countries in which 0292 or similar might be a valid domestic telephone area code.

(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, and many other countries use different prefixes.)

Answer 5

• +291 = Eritrea
• +297 = Aruba
• +298 = Faroe Islands
• +299 = Greenland
