The 01470 area code is used for Isle of Skye - Edinbane (Council of Highland) and the areas directly surrounding Isle of Skye - Edinbane, which includes 9 distinct locations. Most 01470 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 Isle of Skye - Edinbane area.
Previously, the area used 0470 as their area code. This changed in April 1995 during the phONEday event, where it was changed to the 01470 area code to accommodate the growing population and supplement the shrinking supply of phone numbers in Highland.
