0114 is the area code for Sheffield in South Yorkshire, introduced on PhONEday in 1995 to replace 0742. Local numbers have seven digits. Common callers include Sheffield City Council, the city's hospitals and GP practices, its two universities, engineering and manufacturing firms and a wide range of service businesses. A Sheffield number may have been ported to another provider or attached to an internet phone line used elsewhere in the country, and criminals can display a spoofed 0114 number. If a caller asks for money or personal details, hang up and ring the organisation back on a number you have checked yourself.
Who called me from 0114?
The prefix tells you where the line was originally registered (Sheffield), but not who is behind it. Numbers can be ported between networks and caller ID can be spoofed, so a familiar code is no guarantee. Search the full number to see its current carrier, line type and whether other people have reported it.
