How much does it cost to call a 01264 number?

Calls to 01264 numbers are standard geographic landline calls, charged at your provider’s normal UK landline rate and usually included in inclusive minutes — the same as calling an 03 number.

I had a missed call from a 01264 number — is it a scam?

Not necessarily, but be careful: scammers spoof local codes such as 01264 so a call looks like it’s from Andover and you’re more likely to answer. If in doubt, hang up and call the organisation back on a number you find independently.

How do I dial a Andover number from abroad?

Drop the leading 0 and add +44. A number written as 01264 XXXXXX becomes +44 1264 XXXXXX when dialled internationally.

Can this tool tell me who owns the number?

No. It shows the area of the dialling code and the provider Ofcom allocated the number range to — not the individual or business holding a specific number, which may also have been ported to another network.

Where is the 01264 area code?

The 01264 dialling code is the UK geographic area code for Andover. Because 01264 is a geographic (01/02) code, a number using it is tied to the Andover dialling-code area — though with modern hosted telephony (VoIP) a business can keep a 01264 number after moving premises, so the code reflects the number’s designated area rather than a guaranteed physical location today.

Ofcom currently lists 433 number blocks under 01264, of which 175 are allocated to 103 communications providers.

Who holds 01264 number ranges?

Ofcom allocates 01264 numbers to providers in blocks. These providers hold the largest allocations under 01264:

Numbers are frequently moved (ported) between providers, and no public database reveals the person or business behind a specific number, so treat any service that claims to with suspicion.

Spotting spoofed 01264 scam calls

Fraudsters frequently spoof local dialling codes, faking the caller ID so a scam call appears to come from a Andover (01264) number you might trust. Remember:

A familiar 01264 area code is not proof the caller is local or genuine — caller ID can be faked.
Banks, HMRC and the police will never ask you to move money or share passwords or one-time codes over the phone.
If a call feels off, hang up, wait a moment, and call the organisation back on a number from their official website or your statement.
