Getting calls from a 01405 number?
01405 is a legitimate geographic code, so most calls from it are ordinary: local businesses, surgeries, schools, councils and households in the Goole area. Two things are worth knowing before you call back.
First, caller display can be faked. Scammers spoof real UK area codes to look local, so a 01405 number on your screen is not proof the call came from Goole. Second, the safe habit is simple: if a caller you were not expecting asks for personal or payment details, hang up and ring the organisation back on a number you found independently.

Who issues 01405 numbers?
Ofcom allocates 01405 numbers to communications providers in blocks. These providers currently hold the most number blocks in the Goole area:
- BT - 12 number blocks
- GCI Network Solutions Limited - 11 number blocks
- KCOM Group Ltd - 8 number blocks
- Vodafone Ltd (C&W) - 8 number blocks
- Sky UK Limited - 5 number blocks
145 blocks allocated in total. The provider a number was first issued to is not necessarily who serves it today, because numbers move between providers when ported.

ONSIM supplies 01405 numbers two ways: a virtual number that diverts to any phone from £5 a month, or on a Landline SIM from £10 a month so your mobile rings and dials as the 01405 number, with call recording available for regulated trades.

01405 area code questions
Where is the 01405 area code?
01405 is the dialling code for Goole. The code and the areas it serves are set by Ofcom, the UK communications regulator.
How much does it cost to call a 01405 number?
01405 numbers are standard UK geographic landline numbers, charged at the same rate as any other 01 or 02 number. Most mobile and landline tariffs include them in inclusive minutes, so the call usually costs nothing extra. From abroad, dial +44 1405 followed by the local number, charged at your provider's international rate to the UK.
Why am I getting calls from a 01405 number?
Most calls from 01405 numbers are exactly what they look like: a business, GP surgery, school or household in the Goole area. But caller display can be faked, a practice called spoofing, so an unexpected call showing 01405 is not proof the caller is really local. If a caller asks for personal or payment details, hang up and call the organisation back on a number you found yourself, for example from its website or a bill.
Can I get a 01405 number for my business?
Yes. You do not need an office in Goole or a phone line from the dominant local provider. ONSIM can supply a 01405 number that diverts to any phone from £5 a month, or put it on a business SIM so your mobile makes and receives calls as the 01405 number. Existing 01405 numbers can be ported in: porting is included on Landline SIM plans, or a one-off £20 + VAT on Virtual Landline.
