Magrathea Telecommunications Limited in Aberdeen

About Magrathea Telecommunications Limited’s Aberdeen allocation

When Magrathea Telecommunications Limited is the range holder for +44 1224 it means Ofcom recorded Magrathea Telecommunications Limited as the provider entitled to issue numbers from these blocks when they were first allocated under the UK National Telephone Numbering Plan. 18 Aberdeen-facing blocks sit against Magrathea Telecommunications Limited 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 Magrathea Telecommunications Limited’s blocks alongside other range holders on the same 01224 code. Local switching capacity, historic Openreach exchange footprints, and Magrathea Telecommunications Limited’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.
