The 02887 area code is used for Dungannon (County of Tyrone) and the areas directly surrounding Dungannon, which includes 5 distinct locations. Most 02887 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 Dungannon area.
Previously, the area used 01868 as their area code. This changed in April 2000 during The Big Number Change, where it was changed to the 02887 area code to accommodate the growing population and supplement the shrinking supply of phone numbers in Tyrone.
