Colt Technology Services in Abergavenny

About Colt Technology Services’s Abergavenny allocation

When Colt Technology Services is the range holder for +44 1873 it means Ofcom recorded Colt Technology Services as the provider entitled to issue numbers from these blocks when they were first allocated under the UK National Telephone Numbering Plan. 4 Abergavenny-facing blocks sit against Colt Technology Services in the current Ofcom snapshot, each of which can carry up to ten thousand individual digits available for assignment to end customers.

Abergavenny’s Wales telecoms estate is shaped by Abergavenny's residential and business catchment: a dense urban exchange typically hosts allocations from several national operators in parallel, which is why you see Colt Technology Services’s blocks alongside other range holders on the same 01873 code. Local switching capacity, historic Openreach exchange footprints, and Colt Technology Services’s wholesale routing arrangements all influence which blocks land in Abergavenny 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 01873 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.
