The 01914 area code is used for Tyneside (County of Durham / Tyne and Wear) and the areas directly surrounding Tyneside, which includes 4 distinct locations. Most 01914 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 Tyneside area.
Previously, the area used 0914 as their area code. This changed in April 1995 during the phONEday event, where it was changed to the 01914 area code to accommodate the growing population and supplement the shrinking supply of phone numbers in County Durham / Tyne and Wear.
