What are 07799 numbers?

Numbers starting 07799 are UK mobile numbers under Ofcom’s 07 mobile numbers range. Charged at your standard mobile rate and included in inclusive minutes.

Is 07799 an area code?

No — 07799 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. 07799 starts 07, so it is a UK mobile number range, not a geographic area. A call or text from an 07799 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).

Ofcom’s weekly data shows which network each 07799 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.

Checks per week (weeks ending on the dates shown). Our own lookup data, counted once per person per number per day, with Ofcom’s drama/example ranges excluded and refreshed weekly. It measures how many people were curious enough to check a number in this range — it is not a count of scam calls, and it says nothing about any individual number. The quarterly nuisance-call prefixes report puts every range side by side.

Had a call or text from an 07799 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?
