Where 0113 reaches

The 0113 code serves Leeds, Pudsey, Morley, Horsforth, Rothwell and the surrounding area.

The City of Leeds district had a population of around 812,000 at the 2021 census, with around 516,000 in Leeds itself.

Leeds used 0532 (LE on the old letter dial) until PhONEday, 16 April 1995, when it became 0113 and local numbers gained a 2 to become seven digits.

Getting calls from a 0113 number?

0113 is a legitimate geographic code, so most calls from it are ordinary: local businesses, surgeries, schools, councils and households in the Leeds area. Two things are worth knowing before you call back.

First, caller display can be faked. Scammers spoof real UK area codes to look local, so a 0113 number on your screen is not proof the call came from Leeds. Second, the safe habit is simple: if a caller you were not expecting asks for personal or payment details, hang up and ring the organisation back on a number you found independently.

Numbers are often written as 01132 xxx xxx; 01132 is not an area code, the code is 0113 and local numbers have seven digits.

0113 area code questions

Where is the 0113 area code?

0113 is the dialling code for Leeds, in West Yorkshire, England. It serves Leeds, Pudsey, Morley, Horsforth, Rothwell and the surrounding area. The code and the areas it serves are set by Ofcom, the UK communications regulator.

How much does it cost to call a 0113 number?

0113 numbers are standard UK geographic landline numbers, charged at the same rate as any other 01 or 02 number. Most mobile and landline tariffs include them in inclusive minutes, so the call usually costs nothing extra. From abroad, dial +44 113 followed by the local number, charged at your provider's international rate to the UK.

Why am I getting calls from a 0113 number?

Most calls from 0113 numbers are exactly what they look like: a business, GP surgery, school or household in the Leeds area. But caller display can be faked, a practice called spoofing, so an unexpected call showing 0113 is not proof the caller is really local. If a caller asks for personal or payment details, hang up and call the organisation back on a number you found yourself, for example from its website or a bill.

Can I get a 0113 number for my business?

Yes. You do not need an office in Leeds or a phone line from the dominant local provider. ONSIM can supply a 0113 number that diverts to any phone from £5 a month, or put it on a business SIM so your mobile makes and receives calls as the 0113 number. Existing 0113 numbers can be ported in: porting is included on Landline SIM plans, or a one-off £20 + VAT on Virtual Landline.
