How much does it cost to call a 01323 number?

Calls to 01323 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 01323 number — is it a scam?

Not necessarily, but be careful: scammers spoof local codes such as 01323 so a call looks like it’s from Eastbourne 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 Eastbourne number from abroad?

Drop the leading 0 and add +44. A number written as 01323 XXXXXX becomes +44 1323 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 01323 area code?

The 01323 dialling code is the UK geographic area code for Eastbourne. Because 01323 is a geographic (01/02) code, a number using it is tied to the Eastbourne dialling-code area — though with modern hosted telephony (VoIP) a business can keep a 01323 number after moving premises, so the code reflects the number’s designated area rather than a guaranteed physical location today.

Ofcom currently lists 406 number blocks under 01323, of which 202 are allocated to 112 communications providers.

A Eastbourne 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 01323 XXXXXX (the Xs stand for the local digits).

Who holds 01323 number ranges?

Ofcom allocates 01323 numbers to providers in blocks. These providers hold the largest allocations under 01323:

Range holder (allocated by Ofcom)	Number blocks	Example range
BT	28	`01323 379XXX`
Vodafone Ltd (C&W)	15	`01323 45XXXX`
TalkTalk Communications Limited	12	`01323 301XXX`
Gamma Telecom Holdings Limited	11	`01323 396XXX`
Sky UK Limited	10	`01323 318XXX`
GCI Network Solutions Limited	5	`01323 306XXX`

…and 104 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 01323 scam calls

Fraudsters frequently spoof local dialling codes, faking the caller ID so a scam call appears to come from a Eastbourne (01323) number you might trust. Remember:

A familiar 01323 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.
