What are 01460 2XXXXX numbers?

Ofcom hands these numbers to communications providers in blocks; this range

10 are allocated and usable. Calls from these
numbers are typically homes and businesses in the Chard area — or
organisations elsewhere that keep a local 01460 presence using
VoIP.
Who holds 01460 2… number ranges?
| Range holder (allocated by Ofcom) | Number blocks | Example range |
|---|---|---|
| BT | 7 | 01460 22XXXX |
| GCI Network Solutions Limited | 1 | 01460 21XXXX |
| Gamma Telecom Holdings Limited | 1 | 01460 20XXXX |
| Magrathea Telecommunications Limited | 1 | 01460 29XXXX |
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 01460 2… number safe?
A local-looking number is never proof of who is calling: fraudsters spoof 01460 caller IDs so their calls look like they come from Chard (‘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.
