Cost of calling 01709 (Rotherham) phone numbers
All UK local phone numbers that start with an 01 or 02 prefix are charged at the exact same rate. Calling an 01709 number will therefore cost you a variable per minute fee that depends on when you are making the call, as well as a set call access fee that is determined by your landline provider.

Calling Rotherham phone numbers from abroad
Calling a Rotherham phone number from outside the UK using the 01709 prefix is a very simple process for you to follow. The first step in calling a local number from abroad is to remove the initial zero ‘0’ from the 01709 telephone area code, in this case leaving you with 1709. You should then replace this zero with the international dialing code for the United Kingdom which is +44, therefore giving you a new code of +44 1709. Therefore if you wanted to call the Magna Science Adventure Centre from outside the UK using their phone number 01709 720 002 you would instead dial +44 1709 720 002.
Famous examples of Rotherham phone numbers
Phone numbers which use the 01709 prefix are generally received positively in the local area and throughout the UK and are usually more popular than nationally-registered numbers such as 03 numbers. This is because national phone numbers can be more difficult to trace than 01709 numbers and as such they are more likely to be used by sales teams or companies which make unwanted calls, whereas 01709 numbers are registered to physical addresses in the Rotherham area.
