What is this site all about?


Sitting comfortably? Ofcom publishes lists of all the UK CP's (Communication Providers) and the UK Numbering allocations on its website, here. These files are Microsoft Excel files with just over a trillion rows of data that is rather challenging to interpret at first glance. This tool/website is an attempt to fix that. Your data isn't collected, nor stored when you submit a number on this website, genuinely, we have no interest in your telephone numbers, all we do is note a search against a number range, it's also provided entirely free-of-charge to everyone. It has been developed by a Telco engineer, who also receives those pesky nuisance calls all the time, and uses the Ofcom lists regularly, so again, no interest in your numbers.

What this tool is and isn't

This tool is:

  • Designed to assist in the identification of the Communications Provider holding a number range.
  • Free
  • Non-spammy, we genuinely have no interest in the data you input on this site or via the API, all we do is mark a search against a particular number range.

This tool isn't:

  • A tool to identify the company that called you so that you can start harassing them. A lot of CPs are range holders that provide legitimate services. For example, If you see BT hold a range, they didn't necessarily make that call, they are just a service provider, not a call centre.
  • 100% definitive, while a CP may hold the range of numbers, there is nothing to say that a single number from that range hasn't been ported away from that CP.
