What are 01588 3XXXXX numbers?

Any UK number matching 01588 3XXXXX sits in the 01588 dialling code for Bishops Castle. Ofcom hands these numbers to communications providers in blocks; this range contains 10 blocks, of which 10 are allocated and usable. Calls from these numbers are typically homes and businesses in the Bishops Castle area — or organisations elsewhere that keep a local 01588 presence using VoIP.

Who holds 01588 3… number ranges?

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 01588 3… number safe?

A local-looking number is never proof of who is calling: fraudsters spoof 01588 caller IDs so their calls look like they come from Bishops Castle (‘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.
