01423 area code — Harrogate

01423 is Ofcom's Harrogate numbering area, in North Yorkshire, Yorkshire and The Humber England. Its exchange towns are in North Yorkshire. From abroad, drop the 0 and dial +44 1423.

Ofcom splits 01423 into 2 areas by the first digit of the local number: Harrogate (014232, 014235, 014236, 014237, 014238); Boroughbridge (014233, 014234, 014239).

Traditionally not from another 01423 landline, but it now depends on your provider: Ofcom stopped requiring providers to offer local (code-free) dialling on 11 March 2022. Dialling 01423 first always works, and mobiles always need it.

Numbers on 01423 use Ofcom's 4+6 format: the 5-digit code (including the leading 0) followed by a 6-digit local number — written like 01423 234 567. From abroad the leading zero is dropped: +44 1423 then the local number.

01423 took its current form at PhONEday on 16 April 1995, when a "1" was inserted into every UK geographic code — before that the area dialled 0423. Old signage or stationery showing 0423 refers to the same Harrogate numbers.

Ofcom lists 105 providers with allocated blocks on 01423. The largest are BT with 31 of the 249 allocated blocks, Gamma Telecom Holdings Limited with 21 of the 249 allocated blocks and Vodafone with 13 of the 249 allocated blocks. Numbers can be ported, so a number's current provider may differ from the block's holder.
