About the 01650 dialling code
01650 is the UK geographic dialling code for Cemmaes Road, allocated by Ofcom under the National Telephone Numbering Plan. It is used by landlines — and increasingly VoIP lines — registered to the Cemmaes Road area.
A full Cemmaes Road number is normally written as 01650 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 01650 number no longer guarantees the caller is physically in Cemmaes Road. Fraudsters also "spoof" local codes like 01650 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.

From outside the UK, dial your international access prefix, then the UK country code 44, then 1650 (the area code without its leading zero) and the local number.

History of the 01650 code
The code was 0650 until PhONEday, 16 April 1995, when a "1" was inserted after the leading zero to create 01650.
Is a call from 01650 safe?
Most 01650 calls are ordinary local calls from Cemmaes Road homes and businesses. The main risk to be aware of is "neighbour spoofing", where a scammer fakes a local 01650 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 01650 (Cemmaes Road) number from outside the UK, drop the leading zero and dial +44 1650 followed by the local number.
