When is it necessary to use the 01503 Looe dialling code?
When calling from a mobile or landline outside of the 01503 Looe area code, you must use the dialling code. However, if you are calling a local number within the same area code using a landline, the 01503 dialling code is not needed. If you are calling from outside the UK, you must first use the international dialling code for your country, then add the UK country code (44) and the area code (01503) without the initial zero.

The Beginning of the 01503 Area Code
Prior to the PhONEday event in April 1995, the area code was 0503 and the historic mnemonic code was LO3, with the first two characters taken from the letters L and O in LOoe. On an old rotary dial telephone, this code would have been entered by dialling the numbers 5, 0, and 3.
