History Of 01244 Chester Numbers

The 01244 area code serving Chester and surrounding areas was formed as part of wider adjustments to the UK’s numbering plan in the 1990s. Like many regions, Chester’s original area code was modified to create additional number capacity as demand increased. These changes ensured local homes and businesses could continue to access new landline numbers without disruption. Today, 01244 remains closely linked to Chester and nearby parts of Cheshire.

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.
