Who called you from 01784?
A call from an 01784 number is a call from a number registered to the Staines area. That could be a local business, a GP surgery, a school, or a call centre that bought local numbers to look local.

Which companies hold 01784 numbers
Ofcom allocates numbers to phone companies in blocks. These are the operators holding the most 01784 blocks. The company that was issued a number often supplies it onward to a business or reseller, and UK numbers can be ported between networks, so read this as where the number started, and a strong hint rather than proof of who serves it today.
