What are 01841 5XXXXX numbers?
Any UK number matching 01841 5XXXXX sits in the
01841 dialling code for Newquay.
Ofcom hands these numbers to communications providers in blocks; this range
contains 10 blocks, of which
9 are allocated and usable. Calls from these
numbers are typically homes and businesses in the Newquay area — or
organisations elsewhere that keep a local 01841 presence using
VoIP.

| BT | 4 | 01841 52XXXX |
| AQL Wholesale Ltd | 1 | 01841 51XXXX |
| GCI Network Solutions Limited | 1 | 01841 57XXXX |
| Gamma Telecom Holdings Limited | 1 | 01841 55XXXX |

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.
Not every block in this range is in service: of the 10 blocks Ofcom lists, 1 are protected (reserved by Ofcom and not in use). A call appearing to come from an unallocated block is a strong sign of a spoofed number.
Is a call from a 01841 5… number safe?
A local-looking number is never proof of who is calling: fraudsters spoof 01841 caller IDs so their calls look like they come from Newquay (‘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.
