Who is Spacetel UK Ltd?

Spacetel UK Ltd is the name Ofcom records as the range holder for 289 UK number blocks. Ofcom publishes which communications provider each block of the national numbering plan was allocated to; it does not publish what those numbers are used for or who uses them, so everything on this page is the footprint, not the customer list.

Their allocation is mostly non-geographic ranges — 03, 08 and 09 numbers that are not tied to any town or city.

Spacetel UK Ltd also holds 28 mobile or personal-numbering blocks, so a call or text from an 07 number can come from one of their ranges. UK mobile numbers are ported constantly, though, so the allocation tells you where the range started, not which network the phone is on today.

What a call from a Spacetel UK Ltd range means

If our phone number checker shows Spacetel UK Ltd for a number, it means Ofcom allocated the block that number sits in to Spacetel UK Ltd. That is genuinely useful — it tells you the number is a real, allocated UK number of a known type — but three caveats matter:

  • It is not the caller. The person or business on the other end is a customer of Spacetel UK Ltd, or of a reseller buying numbers wholesale from them.
  • It may not even be their network any more. Numbers are ported between providers all the time, and Ofcom’s data keeps showing the original allocation.
  • Caller ID can be faked. Spoofing lets a fraudster display any number, including one from a Spacetel UK Ltd range they have nothing to do with.

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.

Had an unexpected call from one of these numbers?

Check the number itself rather than the provider name. Our guide to the UK number ranges scammers use covers the patterns worth knowing, and who called me? walks through identifying a caller honestly. Forward scam texts free to 7726, and report scam calls to Action Fraud.
