Next, let’s look at why you might need a 0131 area code.
Where is area code 0131?
Area code 0131 primarily operates in the city of Edinburgh and its surrounding areas in Scotland, United Kingdom. This includes locations such as Musselburgh, Dalkeith, Bonnyrigg, Livingston, Loanhead, Penicuik, South Queensferry, and other nearby towns and villages.
The 0131 area code was established on May 16, 1995, replacing the previous 031 area code, to meet the growing demand for telephone numbers in the Edinburgh area and surrounding regions.
All your essential communications tools, included with a 0131 area code number
A truly unified communications platform
Dialpad’s not just about phone calls—the desktop and mobile app brings all your communication channels together into one app, from video conferencing to SMS and instant messaging, and even a cloud contact center platform if you need it.

Use Dialpad’s desktop and mobile app across iOS, Android, PC, and Mac—or just use your web browser to join a call or video meeting, no downloads needed.
Easy call forwarding
Never miss a call again. Dialpad’s call forwarding feature lets you choose up to five external numbers, so you can have calls automatically forwarded to your cell phone or landline, a colleague, or another department.
Flexible call routing
Smart call routing gets your callers to the right department or person—without you having to lift a finger. With Dialpad, you can easily set your own rules for specific people or departments, have out-of-hours calls sent to voicemail, and make changes to your IVR without any help from IT!
Shield your personal number
With Dialpad, you can make work calls from your personal cell phone—while showing your 0131 area code work number and protecting your privacy.
Real-time call transcription
Dialpad’s built-in AI is built by our own team and integrated directly into the communications platform to transcribe your phone calls and video meetings—in real-time. This way, you don't have to be distracted with note-taking and can give them your full attention.
Voicemail transcriptions
When you're in back-to-back meetings all day, you can't always listen to every voicemail. Dialpad's visual voicemail feature transcribes your voicemails into text, so you can quickly read them when it isn't convenient to listen to them. (It even emails the audio and text versions to you!)
