What are 01876 9XXXXX numbers?
Any UK number matching 01876 9XXXXX sits in the
01876 dialling code for Lochmaddy.
Ofcom hands these numbers to communications providers in blocks; this range
contains 91 blocks, of which
4 are allocated and usable. Calls from these
numbers are typically homes and businesses in the Lochmaddy area — or
organisations elsewhere that keep a local 01876 presence using
VoIP.
Who holds 01876 9… number ranges?
| Range holder (allocated by Ofcom) | Number blocks | Example range |
|---|---|---|
| ICUK Computing Services Limited | 1 | 01876 929XXX |
| KCOM Group Ltd | 1 | 01876 920XXX |
| Mi Telecom Limited | 1 | 01876 925XXX |
| Vodafone Ltd (C&W) | 1 | 01876 922XXX |
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 91 blocks Ofcom lists, 81 are protected (reserved by Ofcom and not in use) and 6 are free/unallocated. A call appearing to come from an unallocated block is a strong sign of a spoofed number.
Is a call from a 01876 9… number safe?
A local-looking number is never proof of who is calling: fraudsters spoof 01876 caller IDs so their calls look like they come from Lochmaddy (‘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.
