About the 01323 dialling code
01323 is the UK geographic dialling code for Eastbourne, allocated by Ofcom under the National Telephone Numbering Plan. It is used by landlines — and increasingly VoIP lines — registered to the Eastbourne area.
A full Eastbourne number is normally written as 01323 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 01323 number no longer guarantees the caller is physically in Eastbourne. Fraudsters also "spoof" local codes like 01323 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 01323 code
The code was 0323 until PhONEday, 16 April 1995, when a "1" was inserted after the leading zero to create 01323.
In the letter-dialling era the code had the mnemonic EA3 — on an old rotary dial, the letters EA (from Eastbourne) sat on the same holes as the digits 323, so subscribers literally dialled the start of the town's name.

Is a call from 01323 safe?
Most 01323 calls are ordinary local calls from Eastbourne homes and businesses. The main risk to be aware of is "neighbour spoofing", where a scammer fakes a local 01323 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 01323 (Eastbourne) number from outside the UK, drop the leading zero and dial +44 1323 followed by the local number.
