If a 01250 number called you
No clear pattern in reports for these numbers yet. If a call worried you:
- 1
Call back on a number you trust
If a caller says they're your bank, HMRC, a courier or a council, hang up and ring the organisation on the number from its website or your statement, never the number that called you. Caller ID can be faked.
- 2
Forward it to 7726
On a mobile, copy the caller's number from your recent calls and text it to 7726 (it spells SPAM). Scam texts can be forwarded to 7726 as they are. It's free, and your network uses the reports to investigate and block numbers.
- 3
Stop sales calls
Register your landline and mobile free with the Telephone Preference Service (0345 070 0707). Legitimate UK marketers must check it; calls should drop within 28 days. It won't stop scammers.
- 4
If you lost money or shared details
Call your bank on the number on your card (or 159 to reach most UK banks safely), then report it to Police Scotland on 101. In Scotland fraud goes to Police Scotland rather than Report Fraud.
01250 history and number format
Number format: Numbers on 01250 use Ofcom's 4+6 format: the 5-digit code (including the leading 0) followed by a 6-digit local number — written like 01250 234 567.
Before 1995: 01250 took its current form at PhONEday on 16 April 1995, when a "1" was inserted into every UK geographic code — before that the area dialled 0250.
Local dialling: Traditionally not from another 01250 landline, but it now depends on your provider: Ofcom stopped requiring providers to offer local (code-free) dialling on 11 March 2022. Dialling 01250 first always works, and mobiles always need it.
Allocation record: the oldest number block still visible on 01250 was allocated on 15 July 1994, and the most recent on 26 January 2026. 1 block was allocated in the last 12 months — newly-activated ranges with no call history, which is worth knowing when an unfamiliar 01250 number rings (see the weekly numbering changelog for every new allocation.)

FAQs about 01250
Where is area code 01250?
01250 is Ofcom's Blairgowrie numbering area, in Perth and Kinross, Scotland. Its exchange town is in Perth and Kinross. From abroad, drop the 0 and dial +44 1250.
Do I need to dial 01250 for a local call?
Traditionally not from another 01250 landline, but it now depends on your provider: Ofcom stopped requiring providers to offer local (code-free) dialling on 11 March 2022. Dialling 01250 first always works, and mobiles always need it.
How are 01250 numbers written?
Numbers on 01250 use Ofcom's 4+6 format: the 5-digit code (including the leading 0) followed by a 6-digit local number — written like 01250 234 567. From abroad the leading zero is dropped: +44 1250 then the local number.
What was the 01250 area code before?
01250 took its current form at PhONEday on 16 April 1995, when a "1" was inserted into every UK geographic code — before that the area dialled 0250. Old signage or stationery showing 0250 refers to the same Blairgowrie numbers.
Which phone companies hold 01250 numbers?
Ofcom lists 89 providers with allocated blocks on 01250. The largest are BT with 3 of the 99 allocated blocks, Inet Telecoms Ltd (Voipfone) with 3 of the 99 allocated blocks and TalkTalk Communications Limited with 3 of the 99 allocated blocks. Numbers can be ported, so a number's current provider may differ from the block's holder.

By distance between exchange towns, the nearest other codes are 01828 Coupar Angus (7 km), 01821 Kinrossie (13 km), 01350 Dunkeld (15 km) and 01575 Kirriemuir (22 km).
How do I report a scam call from a 01250 number?
