What is a virtual Sheffield area code number?

Since 1995, all Sheffield telephone numbers have come with the local area code of 0114. Therefore, nearly everyone in the city – and much further afield, as well – will recognise a number that begins with 0114 to be a Sheffield telephone number. However, a virtual Sheffield area code number does not need to ring on a phone line that is in the city. In fact, when an 0114 number is called it doesn’t even need to ring on a fixed-line telephone at all because it could just as easily be answered on a mobile phone.

When someone calls a virtual 0114 number they will experience the call in just the same way as they would a conventional Sheffield area code telephone number. There are no delays in getting through and nothing to suggest the call is being redirected. However, the virtual Sheffield area code number will send the caller to any other phone that could be anywhere in the country. So, if your headquarters are in London, Leeds or Liverpool, for example, then you can publish an 0114 number to encourage local Sheffielders to phone even though their calls won’t be answered in Sheffield.

Equally, businesses that handle inbound telephone calls on their mobiles will be able to print what appears to be a landline number on their sales information, social media and website. In turn, this should give people who call it a greater sense of professionalism and that the company they are dealing with has a permanent base of operations. As such, a virtual Sheffield area code number can be of just as much benefit to businesses that operate in the city as those which don’t but would like to appear as if they do.
