Who holds 01260 2… number ranges?
| Range holder (allocated by Ofcom) | Number blocks | Example range |
|---|---|---|
| GCI Network Solutions Limited | 11 | 01260 23XXXX |
| BT | 6 | 01260 20XXXX |

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.
Is a call from a 01260 2… number safe?
A local-looking number is never proof of who is calling: fraudsters spoof 01260 caller IDs so their calls look like they come from Congleton (‘neighbour spoofing’). If an unexpected caller asks for personal, banking or one-time-code details, hang up and ring the organisation back on a number you find independently. To put a name to a caller, see who called me?; to report one, see how to report a scam number.
