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 01695 5… number safe?

A local-looking number is never proof of who is calling: fraudsters spoof 01695 caller IDs so their calls look like they come from Skelmersdale (‘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.
