The 01534 area code: Jersey
01534 is the dialling code for Jersey. It looks like a normal UK landline code, but Jersey is a separate telecoms jurisdiction: many UK tariffs exclude 01534 calls from inclusive allowances and charge substantially higher rates. Check your provider's price guide before a long call.

Calling Jersey regularly? Do not pay 65p a minute
Because most UK networks leave Jersey out of inclusive allowances, our sister service PhoneJersey exists for exactly this: it connects you for 5p/min to Jersey landlines and 15p/min to mobiles, instead of the up-to-65p rates UK networks charge. Pay as you go, £1/month, no contract, no change to your mobile network - you dial a UK number that is inside your bundle, and we carry the island leg over our own network. PhoneJersey is part of ONSIM.
Getting calls from a 01534 number?
01534 is a legitimate geographic code, so most calls from it are ordinary: local businesses, surgeries, schools, councils and households in the Jersey 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 01534 number on your screen is not proof the call came from Jersey. 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.

Who issues 01534 numbers?
Ofcom allocates 01534 numbers to communications providers in blocks. These providers currently hold the most number blocks in the Jersey area:
- JT (Jersey) Limited - 33 number blocks
- Marathon Telecom Limited - 2 number blocks
- Jersey Airtel Limited - 2 number blocks
- Newtel Limited - 2 number blocks
- Gamma Telecom Holdings Limited - 1 number blocks
41 blocks allocated in total. The provider a number was first issued to is not necessarily who serves it today, because numbers move between providers when ported.
Can ONSIM supply 01534 numbers?
No. Jersey is a separate telecoms jurisdiction, so ONSIM cannot supply new 01534 numbers or port existing ones in. The same applies to all Jersey, Guernsey and Isle of Man numbers. For a 01534 number you will need a provider licensed in Jersey.
We can supply numbers in UK geographic codes, 03 national numbers and freephone numbers. See buying a landline number or the business number chooser if one of those would work for you.
01534 area code questions
Where is the 01534 area code?
01534 is the dialling code for Jersey. The code and the areas it serves are set by Ofcom, the UK communications regulator.
How much does it cost to call a 01534 number?
Be careful here. 01534 numbers use the UK format, but Jersey is a separate telecoms jurisdiction and many UK mobile and landline tariffs exclude 01534 calls from inclusive allowances, charging substantially higher per-minute rates instead - a long call can cost serious money. Some plans do include Crown dependency calls. Check the exact rate in your own provider's price guide before calling, and do not assume your minutes cover it.
Why am I getting calls from a 01534 number?
Most calls from 01534 numbers are exactly what they look like: a business, GP surgery, school or household in the Jersey area. But caller display can be faked, a practice called spoofing, so an unexpected call showing 01534 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 01534 number for my business?
Not from ONSIM. Jersey is a separate telecoms jurisdiction, and we cannot supply or port in 01534 numbers. For a 01534 number you will need a provider licensed in Jersey. ONSIM can supply numbers in UK geographic codes, 03 national numbers and freephone numbers.
