Sky UK Limited in Bournemouth

About Sky UK Limited’s Bournemouth allocation

When Sky UK Limited is the range holder for +44 1202 it means Ofcom recorded Sky UK Limited as the provider entitled to issue numbers from these blocks when they were first allocated under the UK National Telephone Numbering Plan. 74 Bournemouth-facing blocks sit against Sky UK Limited in the current Ofcom snapshot, each of which can carry up to ten thousand individual digits available for assignment to end customers.

Bournemouth’s Dorset telecoms estate is shaped by Bournemouth's catchment of roughly 198,000 residents: a dense urban exchange typically hosts allocations from several national operators in parallel, which is why you see Sky UK Limited’s blocks alongside other range holders on the same 01202 code. Local switching capacity, historic Openreach exchange footprints, and Sky UK Limited’s wholesale routing arrangements all influence which blocks land in Bournemouth 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 01202 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.
