How much does it cost to call a 01429 number?

Calls to 01429 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 01429 number — is it a scam?

Not necessarily, but be careful: scammers spoof local codes such as 01429 so a call looks like it’s from Hartlepool 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 Hartlepool number from abroad?

Drop the leading 0 and add +44. A number written as 01429 XXXXXX becomes +44 1429 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 01429 area code?

The 01429 dialling code is the UK geographic area code for Hartlepool. Because 01429 is a geographic (01/02) code, a number using it is tied to the Hartlepool dialling-code area — though with modern hosted telephony (VoIP) a business can keep a 01429 number after moving premises, so the code reflects the number’s designated area rather than a guaranteed physical location today.

Ofcom currently lists 415 number blocks under 01429, of which 150 are allocated to 96 communications providers.

Who holds 01429 number ranges?

Ofcom allocates 01429 numbers to providers in blocks. These providers hold the largest allocations under 01429:

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 01429 scam calls

Fraudsters frequently spoof local dialling codes, faking the caller ID so a scam call appears to come from a Hartlepool (01429) number you might trust. Remember:

A familiar 01429 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.
