0871 Premium service numbers UK

About 0871 numbers in the UK

The 0871 prefix is part of the UK National Telephone Numbering Plan administered by Ofcom and falls into the Service number family. 0871 numbers cost up to 13p/min plus your provider's access charge. Many were retired after the 2015 service-charge transparency rules.

Ofcom allocates 0871 number ranges to UK communications providers (Range Holders) in 1,000- or 10,000-number blocks. The table below lists every currently-allocated block we have ingested from Ofcom’s weekly Numbering Data feed. Click any Range Holder to see their full UK portfolio, or paste a specific number into the lookup form above to see the originating provider, the allocation status, and a live AI internet check for any public reports about that exact number.
