How much does it cost to call a 01386 number?

Calls to 01386 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 01386 number — is it a scam?

Not necessarily, but be careful: scammers spoof local codes such as 01386 so a call looks like it’s from Evesham 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 Evesham number from abroad?

Drop the leading 0 and add +44. A number written as 01386 XXXXXX becomes +44 1386 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 01386 area code?

The 01386 dialling code is the UK geographic area code for Evesham. Because 01386 is a geographic (01/02) code, a number using it is tied to the Evesham dialling-code area — though with modern hosted telephony (VoIP) a business can keep a 01386 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 01386, of which 145 are allocated to 99 communications providers.

Evesham phone number format

A Evesham 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 01386 XXXXXX (the Xs stand for the local digits). Ofcom has not reserved a fictitious drama range for 01386; for on-screen examples it recommends the unused 01632 960000–01632 960999 range.

Who holds 01386 number ranges?

Ofcom allocates 01386 numbers to providers in blocks. These providers hold the largest allocations under 01386:

Range holder (allocated by Ofcom)	Number blocks	Example range
BT	30	`01386 335XXX`
TalkTalk Communications Limited	5	`01386 244XXX`
Vodafone Ltd (C&W)	5	`01386 312XXX`
Digital Space Group Limited	3	`01386 245XXX`
GCI Network Solutions Limited	3	`01386 306XXX`
Colt Technology Services	2	`01386 329XXX`
Digitech Solutions Global Limited	2	`01386 296XXX`
Fuse 2 Communications Ltd	2	`01386 363XXX`

…and 91 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 01386 scam calls

Fraudsters frequently spoof local dialling codes, faking the caller ID so a scam call appears to come from a Evesham (01386) number you might trust. Remember:

A familiar 01386 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.
