Quick facts

About the 01609 dialling code

01609 is the UK geographic dialling code for Northallerton, allocated by Ofcom under the National Telephone Numbering Plan. It is used by landlines — and increasingly VoIP lines — registered to the Northallerton area.

A full Northallerton number is normally written as 01609 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 01609 number no longer guarantees the caller is physically in Northallerton. Fraudsters also "spoof" local codes like 01609 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 01609 safe?

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.
