About Pace Telecom Ltd’s Blackpool allocation
When Pace Telecom Ltd is the range holder for +44 1253 it means Ofcom recorded Pace Telecom Ltd as the provider entitled to issue numbers from these blocks when they were first allocated under the UK National Telephone Numbering Plan. 1 Blackpool-facing block sits against Pace Telecom Ltd in the current Ofcom snapshot, each of which can carry up to ten thousand individual digits available for assignment to end customers.
Blackpool’s Lancashire telecoms estate is shaped by Blackpool's catchment of roughly 139,000 residents: a dense urban exchange typically hosts allocations from several national operators in parallel, which is why you see Pace Telecom Ltd’s blocks alongside other range holders on the same 01253 code. Local switching capacity, historic Openreach exchange footprints, and Pace Telecom Ltd’s wholesale routing arrangements all influence which blocks land in Blackpool 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 01253 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 Pace Telecom Ltd on 01253
Why does Pace Telecom Ltd appear on Blackpool (01253) numbers?
Pace Telecom Ltd is listed in Ofcom's UK Numbering Data feed as the originally-allocated range holder for 1 number block on the 01253 dialling code, which covers Blackpool. That allocation pre-dates any individual customer — it simply means Ofcom recognised Pace Telecom Ltd as the wholesale operator entitled to issue those digits when the block was first allocated.
Are calls from a Blackpool Pace Telecom Ltd-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 01253 number into the lookup above to combine the Pace Telecom Ltd range data with a live AI internet check for forum reports, scam databases, and business listings.
Has Pace Telecom Ltd's 01253 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 Any block that has been re-assigned, withdrawn or marked free will appear with its new status on the next refresh.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.
