Nexus Telecommunications Limited in Leicester

About Nexus Telecommunications Limited’s Leicester allocation

When Nexus Telecommunications Limited is the range holder for +44 116 it means Ofcom recorded Nexus Telecommunications Limited as the provider entitled to issue numbers from these blocks when they were first allocated under the UK National Telephone Numbering Plan. 4 Leicester-facing blocks sit against Nexus Telecommunications Limited in the current Ofcom snapshot, each of which can carry up to ten thousand individual digits available for assignment to end customers.

Leicester’s East Midlands telecoms estate is shaped by Leicester's catchment of roughly 368,000 residents: a dense urban exchange typically hosts allocations from several national operators in parallel, which is why you see Nexus Telecommunications Limited’s blocks alongside other range holders on the same 0116 code. Local switching capacity, historic Openreach exchange footprints, and Nexus Telecommunications Limited’s wholesale routing arrangements all influence which blocks land in Leicester 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 0116 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.
