Bristol 0117 Numbers for Local Businesses

The 0117 area code covers Bristol and nearby areas such as Keynsham and parts of South Gloucestershire. It was created as part of the national shift to longer area codes in the mid-1990s and supports a city known for its strong business community, universities, and growing tech sector. Today, 0117 numbers are widely used across the West of England.

Bristol 0117 Number

History Of 0117 Bristol Numbers

Bristol originally operated under the 0272 area code before the UK’s telephone numbering system was updated in the 1990s. During “PhONEday”, a 1 was inserted after the leading zero, transforming 0272 into 0117. This change was introduced to support the city’s expanding residential and commercial demand for new phone lines. The 0117 area code now reflects Bristol’s position as a major economic and cultural centre in the South West.

Ofcom administers the UK’s telephone numbers as part of their regulation of the communications sector. You can learn more with their National Telephone Numbering Plan.
