The 0114 Area Code: Sheffield Phone Numbers
0114 is the telephone area code for Sheffield. It is followed by a 7-digit local number, so a Sheffield number looks like 0114 XXX XXXX. The code replaced Sheffield's old 0742 code in 1995.
ONSIM puts a Sheffield 0114 number on your existing mobile from £5/month + VAT — no app, no VoIP, no desk phone required.
Understanding the 0114 area code
The 0114 code covers Sheffield and its immediate surroundings, including districts such as Stocksbridge and Chapeltown. Nearby Rotherham (01709), Barnsley (01226) and Chesterfield (01246) each have their own codes, so an 0114 number is unmistakably Sheffield.
Sheffield used the 0742 code until the PhONEday changes of 1995, when it became 0114 and existing local numbers gained a leading 2 — which is why so many established Sheffield numbers begin 0114 2. To dial, use 0114 plus the 7-digit local number from anywhere in the UK, or +44 114 from abroad.
ONSIM can provide 0114 numbers across a range of sub-ranges, subject to current availability. If you need several Sheffield numbers, we can accommodate that too.
Why Sheffield businesses choose a local number
Sheffield has built a modern economy on top of its steel heritage: advanced manufacturing and engineering on the city's outskirts, a growing digital and creative community, two universities, and a thriving independent scene around Kelham Island.
For firms and freelancers across that mix, an 0114 number on a mobile provides a professional, recognisably local identity without the cost of an office phone system — and without handing out a personal mobile number.
How it works with ONSIM
ONSIM routes your incoming 0114 calls to your mobile at network level — not through an app that needs data or Wi-Fi. That means reliable call quality wherever you're working.
Start with Virtual Landline for inbound calls from £5/mo, then upgrade to Landline SIM when you want outbound calls to display your Sheffield number too.
Who uses a Sheffield virtual landline?
An 0114 number suits any business that wants a South Yorkshire presence while staying flexible. Common use cases include:
Manufacturing & engineering
Sheffield's advanced manufacturing and engineering firms often have staff split between workshop, site and road. An 0114 number that rings on mobiles keeps the business reachable without a fixed office line.
Trades & home services
Plumbers, electricians and builders serving Sheffield win more local work with a recognisable 0114 number on their van and website — answered on the mobile they already carry.
Digital & creative businesses
Sheffield's growing digital and creative community — much of it working flexibly from studios and co-working spaces — uses virtual landlines to keep a professional number without a fixed desk.
