About the 01680 dialling code
01680 is the UK geographic dialling code for Isle of Mull - Craignure, allocated by Ofcom under the National Telephone Numbering Plan. It is used by landlines — and increasingly VoIP lines — registered to the Isle of Mull - Craignure area.
A full Isle of Mull - Craignure number is normally written as 01680 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 01680 number no longer guarantees the caller is physically in Isle of Mull - Craignure. Fraudsters also "spoof" local codes like 01680 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.

Is a call from 01680 safe?
