Who called you from 0370?
Calls from 0370 numbers usually come from organisations rather than individuals: helplines, switchboards, customer service teams and outbound call centres. The allocation data below shows which phone companies hold 0370 numbers.
Was it a scam?
The code alone can't tell you, and anyone who says otherwise is guessing. What settles it is the call itself: a genuine organisation survives you hanging up and ringing back on the number from its website or your paperwork. If the caller wanted money, bank details, one-time codes or remote access to your computer, treat it as hostile.
What to do now
- Missed call, no voicemail? Don't ring back numbers you don't recognise. Anything important comes back properly.
- Suspicious call: forward the number and what was said to 7726, free on every UK network.
- Lost money or gave away details: Action Fraud, 0300 123 2040 (Police Scotland on 101 in Scotland), and your bank on the number on your card.
- If a caller claims to be from a government department, ring the department back on its official number, which ContactNumbers lists with the source.

Which companies hold 0370 numbers
Ofcom allocates numbers to phone companies in blocks. These are the operators holding the most 0370 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.

|---|---|---|
| Vodafone Ltd (C&W) | 139 | 21% |
| BT | 128 | 19% |
| GCI Network Solutions Limited | 66 | 10% |

What it costs to call 0370
Same price as calling a landline
Ofcom rules say 03 numbers must cost the same as calling an 01 or 02 number, and they must come out of your inclusive minutes if you have them. A company can't make money from you calling its 03 number.
Inclusive minutes: Yes, by regulation. See the full UK call charges guide.
