Where is the 01302 area code?

The 01302 dialling code is the UK geographic area code for Doncaster, covering Doncaster and the surrounding area. Doncaster lies in South Yorkshire, in the Yorkshire & the Humber region of England. Doncaster, now a city, is a major South Yorkshire rail and racing town.

Because 01302 is a geographic (01/02) code, a number using it is tied to the Doncaster area — though with modern hosted telephony (VoIP) a business can keep an 01302 number even after moving premises, so the code reflects the original area rather than a guaranteed physical location today.

Doncaster phone number format & example

An Doncaster number is made up of a 5-digit area code followed by a 5 or 6-digit local number. Written in full it looks like 01302 XXXXXX (the Xs stand for the local digits). Ofcom has not reserved a dedicated fictitious range for 01302. For on-screen examples it recommends the unused 01632 96000001632 960999 range. Real Doncaster numbers follow the pattern 01302 XXXXXX.

How to dial a Doncaster (01302) number

  • Within the Doncaster area: on most lines you can dial just the local part of the number, although dialling the full national number including 01302 always works.
  • From elsewhere in the UK: dial the full number including the area code — 01302 XXXXXX.
  • From abroad: replace the leading 0 with +44+44 1302 XXXXXX.

Call charges for 01302 numbers

Calls to 01302 geographic numbers are charged at your phone provider’s standard UK landline rate and are normally included in any inclusive call minutes on your landline or mobile plan. UK-wide 03 numbers are guaranteed by Ofcom to cost the same as 01/02 calls, while 084, 087 and 09 numbers cost considerably more — so it’s always worth checking the prefix before you dial.

Spotting spoofed 01302 scam calls

Fraudsters frequently spoof local dialling codes, faking the caller ID so a scam call appears to come from a nearby Doncaster (01302) number you might trust. This is called neighbour spoofing. Remember:

  • A familiar 01302 area code is not proof the caller is local or genuine — caller ID can be faked.
  • Banks, HMRC and the police will never ask you to move money or share passwords or one-time codes over the phone.
  • If a call feels off, hang up, wait a moment, and call the organisation back on a number from their official website or your statement.
  • Report nuisance calls to the ICO and forward scam texts to 7726 (free).
