If a 01324 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.
01324 history and number format
Number format: Numbers on 01324 use Ofcom's 4+6 format: the 5-digit code (including the leading 0) followed by a 6-digit local number — written like 01324 234 567.
Before 1995: 01324 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 0324.
Local dialling: Traditionally not from another 01324 landline, but it now depends on your provider: Ofcom stopped requiring providers to offer local (code-free) dialling on 11 March 2022. Dialling 01324 first always works, and mobiles always need it.
Allocation record: the oldest number block still visible on 01324 was allocated on 15 July 1994, and the most recent on 17 March 2026. 2 blocks were allocated in the last 12 months — newly-activated ranges with no call history, which is worth knowing when an unfamiliar 01324 number rings (see the weekly numbering changelog for every new allocation.)

FAQs about 01324
Where is area code 01324?
01324 is Ofcom's Falkirk numbering area, in Falkirk, Scotland. Its exchange town is in Falkirk. From abroad, drop the 0 and dial +44 1324.
Do I need to dial 01324 for a local call?
Traditionally not from another 01324 landline, but it now depends on your provider: Ofcom stopped requiring providers to offer local (code-free) dialling on 11 March 2022. Dialling 01324 first always works, and mobiles always need it.
How are 01324 numbers written?
Numbers on 01324 use Ofcom's 4+6 format: the 5-digit code (including the leading 0) followed by a 6-digit local number — written like 01324 234 567. From abroad the leading zero is dropped: +44 1324 then the local number.
What was the 01324 area code before?
01324 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 0324. Old signage or stationery showing 0324 refers to the same Falkirk numbers.
Which phone companies hold 01324 numbers?
Ofcom lists 102 providers with allocated blocks on 01324. The largest are BT with 25 of the 198 allocated blocks, Virgin Media Limited with 20 of the 198 allocated blocks and Vodafone with 18 of the 198 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 01259 Alloa (13 km), 01506 Bathgate (14 km), 01501 Harthill (16 km) and 01786 Stirling (16 km).
How do I report a scam call from a 01324 number?
On a mobile, text the caller's number to 7726 (free). If you lost money or shared details, call your bank and report it to Police Scotland on 101. Unwanted sales calls go to the ICO after registering with the Telephone Preference Service.
