Any subsequent port to a different network would not update this allocation record — Ofcom does not publish a live current-carrier feed, so the Range Holder is the strongest free public signal for the originating wholesale identity but not always the live carrier today. The block prefix +44 161319 covers a contiguous range of UK numbers issued under the same allocation; the size of that block depends on whether Ofcom released it as a 1,000-number, 10,000-number, or 100,000-number sub-range.

The block is currently flagged “Allocated” in the Ofcom data, meaning the block is currently in active service with a communications provider.
