How much does it cost to call a 01307 number?

Calls to 01307 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 01307 number — is it a scam?

Not necessarily, but be careful: scammers spoof local codes such as 01307 so a call looks like it’s from Forfar 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 Forfar number from abroad?

Drop the leading 0 and add +44. A number written as 01307 XXXXXX becomes +44 1307 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 01307 area code?

The 01307 dialling code is the UK geographic area code for Forfar. Because 01307 is a geographic (01/02) code, a number using it is tied to the Forfar dialling-code area — though with modern hosted telephony (VoIP) a business can keep a 01307 number after moving premises, so the code reflects the number’s designated area rather than a guaranteed physical location today.

Ofcom currently lists 388 number blocks under 01307, of which 108 are allocated to 87 communications providers.

Forfar phone number format

A Forfar number is made up of a 5-digit area code followed by a 5 or 6-digit local number. Written in full it looks like 01307 XXXXXX (the Xs stand for the local digits). Ofcom has not reserved a fictitious drama range for 01307; for on-screen examples it recommends the unused 01632 960000–01632 960999 range.

Who holds 01307 number ranges?

Ofcom allocates 01307 numbers to providers in blocks. These providers hold the largest allocations under 01307:

Range holder (allocated by Ofcom)	Number blocks	Example range
BT	10	`01307 45XXXX`
Vodafone Ltd (C&W)	6	`01307 30XXXX`
Inet Telecoms Ltd (Voipfone)	3	`01307 680XXX`
TalkTalk Communications Limited	3	`01307 248XXX`
Digital Space Group Limited	2	`01307 52XXXX`
Fuse 2 Communications Ltd	2	`01307 715XXX`

…and 79 more providers hold smaller allocations in this range.

Ofcom’s data shows the provider each number range was originally allocated to — not who holds an individual number today. 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 01307 scam calls

Fraudsters frequently spoof local dialling codes, faking the caller ID so a scam call appears to come from a Forfar (01307) number you might trust. Remember:

A familiar 01307 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.
