How much does it cost to call a 01726 number?

Calls to 01726 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 01726 number — is it a scam?

Not necessarily, but be careful: scammers spoof local codes such as 01726 so a call looks like it’s from St Austell 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 St Austell number from abroad?

Drop the leading 0 and add +44. A number written as 01726 XXXXXX becomes +44 1726 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 01726 area code?

The 01726 dialling code is the UK geographic area code for St Austell. Because 01726 is a geographic (01/02) code, a number using it is tied to the St Austell dialling-code area — though with modern hosted telephony (VoIP) a business can keep a 01726 number after moving premises, so the code reflects the number’s designated area rather than a guaranteed physical location 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 01726 scam calls

Fraudsters frequently spoof local dialling codes, faking the caller ID so a scam call appears to come from a St Austell (01726) number you might trust. Remember:

A familiar 01726 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.
Report nuisance calls to the ICO and forward scam texts to 7726 (free).
