How much does it cost to call a 01955 number?

Calls to 01955 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 01955 number — is it a scam?

Not necessarily, but be careful: scammers spoof local codes such as 01955 so a call looks like it’s from Wick 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 Wick number from abroad?

Drop the leading 0 and add +44. A number written as 01955 XXXXXX becomes +44 1955 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 01955 area code?

The 01955 dialling code is the UK geographic area code for Wick. Because 01955 is a geographic (01/02) code, a number using it is tied to the Wick dialling-code area — though with modern hosted telephony (VoIP) a business can keep a 01955 number after moving premises, so the code reflects the number’s designated area rather than a guaranteed physical location today.

Ofcom currently lists 406 number blocks under 01955, of which 96 are allocated to 84 communications providers.

A Wick 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 01955 XXXXXX (the Xs stand for the local digits).

Who holds 01955 number ranges?

Ofcom allocates 01955 numbers to providers in blocks. These providers hold the largest allocations under 01955:

Range holder (allocated by Ofcom)	Number blocks	Example range
BT	8	`01955 60XXXX`
Convergence Group (wireless) Networks Limited	2	`01955 441XXX`
Digital Space Group Limited	2	`01955 247XXX`
Fuse 2 Communications Ltd	2	`01955 474XXX`
TalkTalk Communications Limited	2	`01955 928XXX`

…and 76 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.

Spotting spoofed 01955 scam calls

Fraudsters frequently spoof local dialling codes, faking the caller ID so a scam call appears to come from a Wick (01955) number you might trust. Remember:

A familiar 01955 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.
