York Data Services Limited in Harrogate

About York Data Services Limited’s Harrogate allocation

When York Data Services Limited is the range holder for +44 1423 it means Ofcom recorded York Data Services Limited as the provider entitled to issue numbers from these blocks when they were first allocated under the UK National Telephone Numbering Plan. 2 Harrogate-facing blocks sit against York Data Services Limited in the current Ofcom snapshot, each of which can carry up to ten thousand individual digits available for assignment to end customers.

Harrogate’s North Yorkshire telecoms estate is shaped by Harrogate's residential and business catchment: a dense urban exchange typically hosts allocations from several national operators in parallel, which is why you see York Data Services Limited’s blocks alongside other range holders on the same 01423 code. Local switching capacity, historic Openreach exchange footprints, and York Data Services Limited’s wholesale routing arrangements all influence which blocks land in Harrogate rather than elsewhere on the national plan.

Treat this allocation as a starting point, not a verdict on any specific caller.
