About the 01332 dialling code
01332 is the UK geographic dialling code for Derby, allocated by Ofcom under the National Telephone Numbering Plan. It is used by landlines — and increasingly VoIP lines — registered to the Derby area.
A full Derby number is normally written as 01332 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 01332 number no longer guarantees the caller is physically in Derby. Fraudsters also "spoof" local codes like 01332 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 01332 code
The code was 0332 until PhONEday, 16 April 1995, when a "1" was inserted after the leading zero to create 01332.
In the letter-dialling era the code had the mnemonic DE2 — on an old rotary dial, the letters DE (from Derby) sat on the same holes as the digits 332, so subscribers literally dialled the start of the town's name.

Is a call from 01332 safe?
Most 01332 calls are ordinary local calls from Derby homes and businesses. The main risk to be aware of is "neighbour spoofing", where a scammer fakes a local 01332 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 01332 (Derby) number from outside the UK, drop the leading zero and dial +44 1332 followed by the local number.
