Area code history
Oban's original area code was 0024. This lasted until 1968 when the code was changed to 0631, as part of a nationwide plan to free up numbers starting 00 for other purposes.
The 0631 code eventually became 01631, following a renumbering programme that took place across the UK during April 1995.
