About OVH Limited’s Cardiff allocation
When OVH Limited is the range holder for +44 29 it means Ofcom recorded OVH Limited as the provider entitled to issue numbers from these blocks when they were first allocated under the UK National Telephone Numbering Plan. 2 Cardiff-facing blocks sit against OVH Limited in the current Ofcom snapshot, each of which can carry up to ten thousand individual digits available for assignment to end customers.
Cardiff’s South Wales telecoms estate is shaped by Cardiff's catchment of roughly 480,000 residents: a dense urban exchange typically hosts allocations from several national operators in parallel, which is why you see OVH Limited’s blocks alongside other range holders on the same 029 code. Local switching capacity, historic Openreach exchange footprints, and OVH Limited’s wholesale routing arrangements all influence which blocks land in Cardiff 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 029 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 OVH Limited on 029
Why does OVH Limited appear on Cardiff (029) numbers?
OVH Limited is listed in Ofcom's UK Numbering Data feed as the originally-allocated range holder for 2 number blocks on the 029 dialling code, which covers Cardiff. That allocation pre-dates any individual customer — it simply means Ofcom recognised OVH Limited as the wholesale operator entitled to issue those digits when the block was first allocated.
Are calls from a Cardiff OVH Limited-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 029 number into the lookup above to combine the OVH Limited range data with a live AI internet check for forum reports, scam databases, and business listings.
Has OVH Limited's 029 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 Any block that has been re-assigned, withdrawn or marked free will appear with its new status on the next refresh.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.
