About the 01225 dialling code
01225 is the UK geographic dialling code for Bath, allocated by Ofcom under the National Telephone Numbering Plan. It is used by landlines — and increasingly VoIP lines — registered to the Bath area.
A full Bath number is normally written as 01225 XXXXXX. You can dial the local part on its own from within the same area, or the full number from anywhere in the UK.
Because of UK number portability and internet calling, a 01225 number no longer guarantees the caller is physically in Bath. Fraudsters also "spoof" local codes like 01225 so an unknown call looks like a nearby business or neighbour — so treat an unexpected call on what is actually said, not on the area code alone.

History of the 01225 code
The code was 0225 until PhONEday, 16 April 1995, when a "1" was inserted after the leading zero to create 01225.
In the letter-dialling era the code had the mnemonic BA5 — on an old rotary dial, the letters BA (from Bath) sat on the same holes as the digits 225, so subscribers literally dialled the start of the town's name.

Is a call from 01225 safe?
Most 01225 calls are ordinary local calls from Bath homes and businesses. The main risk to be aware of is "neighbour spoofing", where a scammer fakes a local 01225 prefix so you are more likely to answer. Never share bank details, passwords or one-time security codes with an unexpected caller, even when the number looks local — hang up and call the organisation back on a number you have verified yourself.
To call a 01225 (Bath) number from outside the UK, drop the leading zero and dial +44 1225 followed by the local number.
