The 02896 area code is used for Belfast (County of Antrim / Down) and the areas directly surrounding Belfast, which includes 9 distinct locations. Most 02896 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 Belfast area.
Previously, the area used 01232 as their area code. This changed in April 2000 during The Big Number Change, where it was changed to the 02896 area code to accommodate the growing population and supplement the shrinking supply of phone numbers in Antrim / County Down.
