Did this number call you? What was it?

No one has reported this number yet. Reports appear here once 3 people have told us about it.

One report per number from each visitor. If you choose again, your new answer replaces the old one. By sending a report you agree to the terms of use. How reports work.

Listed in an official register

From public registers of GP practices, pharmacies, NHS trusts and schools.

  • Pharmacy

    This number is listed for Sciensus Pharma, a pharmacy in Burton-on-Trent (DE14), in the NHS Organisation Data Service.

    Register code FTX40.

This is the number the organisation publishes. Many GP surgeries, hospitals, pharmacies and schools call out from a different number or with their number withheld, so a call from this number is likely to be from them, but it is not certain.

Scammers can make a call show any number, including a real surgery's, hospital's or school's. If a caller asks for bank details, a password, a code sent to your phone or a payment, hang up. Then call the organisation back on a number you have found yourself, such as on its own website or a letter from it.

What the provider and number type mean

Numbers starting 0870, 0871, 0872 and 0873 are non-geographic service numbers. Ofcom says organisations use them for sales and enquiry lines.

Ofcom allocates phone numbers to communications providers in blocks. The provider shown is the one Ofcom allocated this block to. It is not the person or business that called you, and the number may since have moved to a different network, because people can usually keep their number when they switch provider. Ofcom does not hold information about individual numbers.

A call to an 0870, 0871, 0872 or 0873 number has two parts: an access charge that goes to your phone company, and a service charge set by the organisation you are calling. Ofcom says the service charge is between 0p and 13p a minute and must be shown wherever the number is advertised. The access charge depends on your provider.
