How much does it cost to call a 01555 number?

Calls to 01555 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 01555 number — is it a scam?

Not necessarily, but be careful: scammers spoof local codes such as 01555 so a call looks like it’s from Lanark 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 Lanark number from abroad?

Drop the leading 0 and add +44. A number written as 01555 XXXXXX becomes +44 1555 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 01555 area code?

The 01555 dialling code is the UK geographic area code for Lanark. Because 01555 is a geographic (01/02) code, a number using it is tied to the Lanark dialling-code area — though with modern hosted telephony (VoIP) a business can keep a 01555 number after moving premises, so the code reflects the number’s designated area rather than a guaranteed physical location today.

Ofcom currently lists 352 number blocks under 01555, of which 116 are allocated to 88 communications providers.

Lanark phone number format

A Lanark 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 01555 XXXXXX (the Xs stand for the local digits). Ofcom has not reserved a fictitious drama range for 01555; for on-screen examples it recommends the unused 01632 960000–01632 960999 range.

Who holds 01555 number ranges?

Ofcom allocates 01555 numbers to providers in blocks. These providers hold the largest allocations under 01555:

Range holder (allocated by Ofcom)	Number blocks	Example range
BT	14	`01555 535XXX`
Sky UK Limited	5	`01555 445XXX`
Resilient Limited	3	`01555 790XXX`
TalkTalk Communications Limited	3	`01555 450XXX`
Vodafone Ltd (C&W)	3	`01555 37XXXX`
Digital Space Group Limited	2	`01555 26XXXX`
Digitech Solutions Global Limited	2	`01555 430XXX`
Fuse 2 Communications Ltd	2	`01555 474XXX`

…and 80 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.

Calls to 01555 geographic numbers are charged at your phone provider’s standard UK landline rate and are normally included in inclusive call minutes.

Spotting spoofed 01555 scam calls

Fraudsters frequently spoof local dialling codes, faking the caller ID so a scam call appears to come from a Lanark (01555) number you might trust. Remember:

A familiar 01555 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.
