The 018908 area code is used for Coldstream (Council of Scottish Borders) and the areas directly surrounding Coldstream, which includes 10 distinct locations. Most 018908 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 Coldstream area.
Previously, the area used 08908 as their area code. This changed in April 1995 during the phONEday event, where it was changed to the 018908 area code to accommodate the growing population and supplement the shrinking supply of phone numbers in Scottish Borders.
