About the 01358 dialling code
01358 is the UK geographic dialling code for Ellon, allocated by Ofcom under the National Telephone Numbering Plan. It is used by landlines — and increasingly VoIP lines — registered to the Ellon area.
A full Ellon number is normally written as 01358 XXXXXX. You can dial the local part on its own from within the same area, or the full number from anywhere in the UK.
Because of UK number portability and internet calling, a 01358 number no longer guarantees the caller is physically in Ellon. Fraudsters also "spoof" local codes like 01358 so an unknown call looks like a nearby business or neighbour — so treat an unexpected call on what is actually said, not on the area code alone.

History of the 01358 code
The code was 0358 until PhONEday, 16 April 1995, when a "1" was inserted after the leading zero to create 01358.
In the letter-dialling era the code had the mnemonic EL8 — on an old rotary dial, the letters EL (from Ellon) sat on the same holes as the digits 358, so subscribers literally dialled the start of the town's name.

Is a call from 01358 safe?
Most 01358 calls are ordinary local calls from Ellon homes and businesses. The main risk to be aware of is "neighbour spoofing", where a scammer fakes a local 01358 prefix so you are more likely to answer. Never share bank details, passwords or one-time security codes with an unexpected caller, even when the number looks local — hang up and call the organisation back on a number you have verified yourself.
To call a 01358 (Ellon) number from outside the UK, drop the leading zero and dial +44 1358 followed by the local number.
