Which companies hold 0906 numbers
Ofcom allocates numbers to phone companies in blocks. These are the operators holding the most 0906 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) | 349 | 39% |
| BT | 157 | 18% |
| GCI Network Solutions Limited | 70 | 8% |
