Manchester's code became 0161 on PhONEday, 16 April 1995, when the old 061 code gained its leading 1 along with most UK codes. Local numbers after 0161 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 plumber in Salford

A 0161 number on the van. A call menu sends emergencies (press 1) straight to the engineers and bookings (press 2) to the office phone. After 6pm callers hear a closed message and leave voicemail, which arrives by email, transcribed, for the morning.

0161 numbers: questions, answered.

Do callers pay more to ring a 0161 number?

No. 0161 is an ordinary UK geographic number, so callers pay the same as for any other landline call, and most UK mobile and landline plans include those calls.

Can my 0161 number ring a phone outside Manchester?

Yes. It can ring any UK mobile or landline, or several at once, wherever they are. Forwarding is unlimited and included in the £7.50 monthly price.

Can I have more than one 0161 number?

Yes. Each number is £7.50 a month plus VAT and has its own settings, so you could keep one for each service or each team.
