Exa Networks Limited in Sheffield

About Exa Networks Limited’s Sheffield allocation

When Exa Networks Limited is the range holder for +44 114 it means Ofcom recorded Exa Networks Limited as the provider entitled to issue numbers from these blocks when they were first allocated under the UK National Telephone Numbering Plan. 2 Sheffield-facing blocks sit against Exa Networks Limited in the current Ofcom snapshot, each of which can carry up to ten thousand individual digits available for assignment to end customers.

Sheffield’s Yorkshire telecoms estate is shaped by Sheffield's catchment of roughly 584,000 residents: a dense urban exchange typically hosts allocations from several national operators in parallel, which is why you see Exa Networks Limited’s blocks alongside other range holders on the same 0114 code. Local switching capacity, historic Openreach exchange footprints, and Exa Networks Limited’s wholesale routing arrangements all influence which blocks land in Sheffield 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 0114 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.
