01224 is the area code for Aberdeen in north-east Scotland. Aberdeen is closely associated with the North Sea oil and gas industry and with the energy sector more broadly, and also has two universities, a busy harbour and NHS Grampian's main hospital. Since 1 October 2014 the area code must be dialled for all calls, including local ones. Calls from 01224 numbers may come from Aberdeen City Council, energy companies, GP practices or local firms. Numbers can be ported and used via the internet anywhere, and caller ID can be spoofed, so treat unknown callers with care.
Who called me from 01224?
The prefix tells you where the line was originally registered (Aberdeen), 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.
