Telecoms World Direct Limited in Oban

About Telecoms World Direct Limited’s Oban allocation

When Telecoms World Direct Limited is the range holder for +44 1631 it means Ofcom recorded Telecoms World Direct Limited as the provider entitled to issue numbers from these blocks when they were first allocated under the UK National Telephone Numbering Plan. 2 Oban-facing blocks sit against Telecoms World Direct Limited in the current Ofcom snapshot, each of which can carry up to ten thousand individual digits available for assignment to end customers.

Oban’s Scotland telecoms estate is shaped by Oban's residential and business catchment: a dense urban exchange typically hosts allocations from several national operators in parallel, which is why you see Telecoms World Direct Limited’s blocks alongside other range holders on the same 01631 code. Local switching capacity, historic Openreach exchange footprints, and Telecoms World Direct Limited’s wholesale routing arrangements all influence which blocks land in Oban 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 01631 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.
