About AQL Wholesale Ltd’s Aberdeen allocation

When AQL Wholesale Ltd is the range holder for +44 1224 it means Ofcom recorded AQL Wholesale Ltd as the provider entitled to issue numbers from these blocks when they were first allocated under the UK National Telephone Numbering Plan. 6 Aberdeen-facing blocks sit against AQL Wholesale Ltd in the current Ofcom snapshot, each of which can carry up to ten thousand individual digits available for assignment to end customers.

Aberdeen’s Scotland telecoms estate is shaped by Aberdeen's catchment of roughly 200,000 residents: a dense urban exchange typically hosts allocations from several national operators in parallel, which is why you see AQL Wholesale Ltd’s blocks alongside other range holders on the same 01224 code. Local switching capacity, historic Openreach exchange footprints, and AQL Wholesale Ltd’s wholesale routing arrangements all influence which blocks land in Aberdeen rather than elsewhere on the national plan.

Treat this allocation as a starting point, not a verdict on any specific caller. UK numbers are portable, so the current carrier on a given 01224 digit string may differ from the range holder shown — read Range Holder vs current provider for the distinction, and How Ofcom allocates UK phone numbers for the wider context behind the table below.

FAQs about AQL Wholesale Ltd on 01224

Why does AQL Wholesale Ltd appear on Aberdeen (01224) numbers?

AQL Wholesale Ltd is listed in Ofcom's UK Numbering Data feed as the originally-allocated range holder for 6 number blocks on the 01224 dialling code, which covers Aberdeen. That allocation pre-dates any individual customer — it simply means Ofcom recognised AQL Wholesale Ltd as the wholesale operator entitled to issue those digits when the block was first allocated.

Are calls from a Aberdeen AQL Wholesale Ltd-allocated number safe?

An Ofcom allocation only tells you which provider the block was issued to; it is not a safety verdict. UK numbers can be ported between networks, and any UK area code can be spoofed by an overseas caller. Paste the specific 01224 number into the lookup above to combine the AQL Wholesale Ltd range data with a live AI internet check for forum reports, scam databases, and business listings.

Has AQL Wholesale Ltd's 01224 block been updated recently?

Yes — the table above is sourced from Ofcom's public UK Numbering Data feed, which we re-ingest every week (typically Wednesday). Any block that has been re-assigned, withdrawn or marked free will appear with its new status on the next refresh. Numbers within an allocated block can still be ported to another carrier in between Ofcom updates; see our range-holder-vs-current-provider guide for the distinction.
