What are 07579 numbers?
Numbers starting 07579 are UK mobile
numbers under Ofcom’s
07 mobile numbers range.
Charged at your standard mobile rate and included in inclusive minutes.
Is 07579 an area code?
No — 07579 is not an area code. Area codes (or dialling
codes), such as 0161 for Manchester or 0113 for Leeds,
start 01 or 02 and tie a landline to a place. 07579 starts 07, so it
is a UK mobile number range, not a geographic area. A call or
text from an 07579 number therefore isn’t from a particular town —
it’s from a mobile whose range Ofcom allocated to one of the networks in
the table below (and the number may since have been ported to another network).
Which network do 07579 numbers belong to?

07579 0XXXXX | EE Limited (Orange) | Allocated |
07579 1XXXXX | EE Limited (Orange) | Allocated |
07579 2XXXXX | EE Limited (Orange) | Allocated |

Ofcom’s weekly data shows which network each 07579 range was originally allocated to — the table above. Bear in mind UK mobile numbers are very frequently ported, so the person calling you may be on a different network today; the allocation is a starting point, not proof.
Had a call or text from an 07579 number?
Unexpected calls and texts from unfamiliar mobile numbers are a common scam pattern — missed-call (‘Wangiri’) baiting, fake delivery texts and bank-impersonation calls all use them. Don’t ring back numbers you don’t recognise without checking first. Our plain-English guide covers what to do: Who called me from a +44 7 mobile number?
