The 012297 area code is used for Millom (County of Cumbria) and the areas directly surrounding Millom, which includes 3 distinct locations. Most 012297 numbers are used for landlines. However, they can also be purchased by companies or organizations to be used for services that don’t have any connection to the Millom area.
Previously, the area used 02297 as their area code. This changed in April 1995 during the phONEday event, where it was changed to the 012297 area code to accommodate the growing population and supplement the shrinking supply of phone numbers in Cumbria.
