About Telephone Box Limited’s Aberfeldy allocation

When Telephone Box Limited is the range holder for +44 1887 it means Ofcom recorded Telephone Box Limited as the provider entitled to issue numbers from these blocks when they were first allocated under the UK National Telephone Numbering Plan. 2 Aberfeldy-facing blocks sit against Telephone Box Limited in the current Ofcom snapshot, each of which can carry up to ten thousand individual digits available for assignment to end customers.

Aberfeldy’s Scotland telecoms estate is shaped by Aberfeldy's residential and business catchment: a dense urban exchange typically hosts allocations from several national operators in parallel, which is why you see Telephone Box Limited’s blocks alongside other range holders on the same 01887 code. Local switching capacity, historic Openreach exchange footprints, and Telephone Box Limited’s wholesale routing arrangements all influence which blocks land in Aberfeldy 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 01887 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 Telephone Box Limited on 01887

Why does Telephone Box Limited appear on Aberfeldy (01887) numbers?

Telephone Box Limited is listed in Ofcom's UK Numbering Data feed as the originally-allocated range holder for 2 number blocks on the 01887 dialling code, which covers Aberfeldy. That allocation pre-dates any individual customer — it simply means Ofcom recognised Telephone Box Limited as the wholesale operator entitled to issue those digits when the block was first allocated.

Are calls from a Aberfeldy Telephone Box 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.

Has Telephone Box Limited's 01887 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 Any block that has been re-assigned, withdrawn or marked free will appear with its new status on the next refresh.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.
