How much does it cost to call a 01361 number?

Calls to 01361 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 01361 number — is it a scam?

Not necessarily, but be careful: scammers spoof local codes such as 01361 so a call looks like it’s from Duns 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 Duns number from abroad?

Drop the leading 0 and add +44. A number written as 01361 XXXXXX becomes +44 1361 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 01361 area code?

The 01361 dialling code is the UK geographic area code for Duns. Because 01361 is a geographic (01/02) code, a number using it is tied to the Duns dialling-code area — though with modern hosted telephony (VoIP) a business can keep a 01361 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 01361, of which 100 are allocated to 83 communications providers.

Duns phone number format

A Duns 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 01361 XXXXXX (the Xs stand for the local digits). Ofcom has not reserved a fictitious drama range for 01361; for on-screen examples it recommends the unused 01632 960000–01632 960999 range.

Who holds 01361 number ranges?

Ofcom allocates 01361 numbers to providers in blocks. These providers hold the largest allocations under 01361:

Range holder (allocated by Ofcom)	Number blocks	Example range
Vodafone Ltd (C&W)	7	`01361 33XXXX`
BT	6	`01361 81XXXX`
Inet Telecoms Ltd (Voipfone)	3	`01361 610XXX`
Digital Space Group Limited	2	`01361 46XXXX`
Fuse 2 Communications Ltd	2	`01361 359XXX`
GCI Network Solutions Limited	2	`01361 36XXXX`

…and 75 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 01361 scam calls

Fraudsters frequently spoof local dialling codes, faking the caller ID so a scam call appears to come from a Duns (01361) number you might trust. Remember:

A familiar 01361 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.
