How much does it cost to call a 01622 number?

Calls to 01622 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 01622 number — is it a scam?

Not necessarily, but be careful: scammers spoof local codes such as 01622 so a call looks like it’s from Maidstone 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 Maidstone number from abroad?

Drop the leading 0 and add +44. A number written as 01622 XXXXXX becomes +44 1622 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 01622 area code?

The 01622 dialling code is the UK geographic area code for Maidstone. Because 01622 is a geographic (01/02) code, a number using it is tied to the Maidstone dialling-code area — though with modern hosted telephony (VoIP) a business can keep a 01622 number after moving premises, so the code reflects the number’s designated area rather than a guaranteed physical location today.

Who holds 01622 number ranges?

Ofcom allocates 01622 numbers to providers in blocks. These providers hold the largest allocations under 01622:

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 01622 scam calls

Fraudsters frequently spoof local dialling codes, faking the caller ID so a scam call appears to come from a Maidstone (01622) number you might trust. Remember:

A familiar 01622 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.
