Where 0131 reaches.
0131 covers Edinburgh and the towns just beyond the city. Numbers look like 0131 496 0123.
- Edinburgh
- Leith
- Musselburgh
- Dalkeith
- South Queensferry
Edinburgh's code became 0131 on PhONEday, 16 April 1995, replacing 031. Local numbers after 0131 are seven digits.
Phone exchange areas don't follow council boundaries exactly, so a few places near the edges use a different code.
Example: A holiday-let manager in Edinburgh
Guests and owners call the same 0131 number. A call menu sends guests (press 1) to whoever is on call that week and owners (press 2) to the office. Hours change with the season, and the greeting is a recording uploaded as an MP3.
