The 018513 area code is used for Stornoway (Council of Na h-Eileanan Siar) and the areas directly surrounding Stornoway, which includes 14 distinct locations. Most 018513 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 Stornoway area.
Previously, the area used 08513 as their area code. This changed in April 1995 during the phONEday event, where it was changed to the 018513 area code to accommodate the growing population and supplement the shrinking supply of phone numbers in Na h-Eileanan Siar.
