What a 0700 number tells you

What it is

Personal "follow-me" numbers that forward to another phone. They look like mobile numbers but are not.

What it costs

Since October 2019 Ofcom has capped what providers can charge to connect these calls, so most tariffs now treat them like mobile calls – but check yours.

Watch out for

070 numbers have a long history of misuse in scams because they look like mobiles and hide the real destination.

The range holder isn’t necessarily the caller. Ofcom gives numbers to providers in blocks, and people and businesses can take their number with them when they switch. To find out who actually called, check the full number.
