TalkTalk Communications Limited in Stoke-on-Trent

About TalkTalk Communications Limited’s Stoke-on-Trent allocation

When TalkTalk Communications Limited is the range holder for +44 1782 it means Ofcom recorded TalkTalk Communications Limited as the provider entitled to issue numbers from these blocks when they were first allocated under the UK National Telephone Numbering Plan. 42 Stoke-on-Trent-facing blocks sit against TalkTalk Communications Limited in the current Ofcom snapshot, each of which can carry up to ten thousand individual digits available for assignment to end customers.

Stoke-on-Trent’s Staffordshire telecoms estate is shaped by Stoke-on-Trent's catchment of roughly 256,000 residents: a dense urban exchange typically hosts allocations from several national operators in parallel, which is why you see TalkTalk Communications Limited’s blocks alongside other range holders on the same 01782 code. Local switching capacity, historic Openreach exchange footprints, and TalkTalk Communications Limited’s wholesale routing arrangements all influence which blocks land in Stoke-on-Trent 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 01782 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.
