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

VoIP.
Who holds 01837 8… number ranges?
| Range holder (allocated by Ofcom) | Number blocks | Example range |
|---|---|---|
| BT | 9 | 01837 81XXXX |
| Net-Work Internet Ltd | 1 | 01837 80XXXX |
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 01837 8… number safe?
A local-looking number is never proof of who is calling: fraudsters spoof 01837 caller IDs so their calls look like they come from Okehampton (‘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.
