0800 Area Code
UK freephone number range: what 0800 numbers are, who holds them, and what to do about a call you don't recognise.
What Is the 0800 Area Code?
UK freephone number. 0800 is a UK freephone range: calls to it are free from landlines and mobiles.
Who was the range allocated to?
We don't have Ofcom allocation details for 0800.
Numbers can be moved (ported) between networks, so the network a caller uses today may not be the one Ofcom allocated the block to. The allocation does not identify the person or business using a number.
Had a call from a 0800 number you don't recognise?
We can't tell you who called: an area code only shows the type of number and the provider Ofcom allocated the range to.
- Don't call back in a hurry, even if a message says it's urgent. Never give bank details or security codes on a call you didn't expect.
- Block the number from your phone's recent calls list.
- Forward scam texts free to 7726. Report unwanted marketing calls to the ICO, and see Ofcom's advice on scam calls.
- Register your number with the Telephone Preference Service to opt out of sales calls.

Common Questions About 0800 Numbers
Is 0800 a mobile number?
No. 0800 is a UK freephone number. UK mobile numbers start with 07.
Where is the 0800 area code?
Nowhere in particular. 0800 is a UK freephone number range, and these numbers are not tied to a town or region, so the code does not show where a caller is.
Who does the 0800 range belong to?
We don't have Ofcom allocation details for 0800. Ofcom allocates UK numbers to providers in blocks, and numbers can be moved (ported) between networks, so the network a caller uses today may not be the one Ofcom allocated the block to. The allocation does not identify the person or business using a number.
Who called me from a 0800 number?
We can't tell you who called. An area code only shows the type of number and which provider Ofcom allocated the range to. If you don't recognise a 0800 number, don't call back in a hurry, and never give out bank details or security codes on a call you didn't expect.
