About the 0114 dialling code
0114 is the UK geographic dialling code for Sheffield, allocated by Ofcom under the National Telephone Numbering Plan. It is used by landlines — and increasingly VoIP lines — registered to the Sheffield area.
A full Sheffield number is normally written as 0114 XXX XXXX. 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 0114 number no longer guarantees the caller is physically in Sheffield. Fraudsters also "spoof" local codes like 0114 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 0114 safe?
Most 0114 calls are ordinary local calls from Sheffield homes and businesses. The main risk to be aware of is "neighbour spoofing", where a scammer fakes a local 0114 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 0114 (Sheffield) number from outside the UK, drop the leading zero and dial +44 114 followed by the local number.
