How much does it cost to call a 01748 number?

Calls to 01748 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 01748 number — is it a scam?

Not necessarily, but be careful: scammers spoof local codes such as 01748 so a call looks like it’s from Richmond 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 Richmond number from abroad?

Drop the leading 0 and add +44. A number written as 01748 XXXXXX becomes +44 1748 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 01748 area code?

The 01748 dialling code is the UK geographic area code for Richmond. Because 01748 is a geographic (01/02) code, a number using it is tied to the Richmond dialling-code area — though with modern hosted telephony (VoIP) a business can keep a 01748 number after moving premises, so the code reflects the number’s designated area rather than a guaranteed physical location today.

Ofcom currently lists 433 number blocks under 01748, of which 119 are allocated to 94 communications providers.

A Richmond 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 01748 XXXXXX (the Xs stand for the local digits).

Who holds 01748 number ranges?

Ofcom allocates 01748 numbers to providers in blocks. These providers hold the largest allocations under 01748:

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 01748 scam calls

Fraudsters frequently spoof local dialling codes, faking the caller ID so a scam call appears to come from a Richmond (01748) number you might trust. Remember:

A familiar 01748 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.
