Personal numbers, handle with care
07022
Who called you from 07022?
A 07022 number is a personal 'follow me' number, a range that forwards calls to another line. These look like mobile numbers and that confusion is exactly what missed-call scams rely on. If you don't recognise the number, don't call it back.
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, especially in this range. 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 07022 numbers
Ofcom allocates numbers to phone companies in blocks. These are the operators holding the most 07022 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.

What it costs to call 07022
Looks like a mobile, can cost more
070 numbers are personal 'follow me' numbers that forward to another line. They look like mobile numbers but are a different service. Ofcom capped the charges in 2019, so most providers now price them like mobile calls, but some still charge more. Scammers have long used 070 numbers precisely because people mistake them for mobiles.
Inclusive minutes: Sometimes. Check your plan before calling back. See the full UK call charges guide.
