About the 01505 dialling code
01505 is the UK geographic dialling code for Johnstone, allocated by Ofcom under the National Telephone Numbering Plan. It is used by landlines — and increasingly VoIP lines — registered to the Johnstone area.
A full Johnstone number is normally written as 01505 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 01505 number no longer guarantees the caller is physically in Johnstone. Fraudsters also "spoof" local codes like 01505 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.

Is a call from 01505 safe?
Most 01505 calls are ordinary local calls from Johnstone homes and businesses. The main risk to be aware of is "neighbour spoofing", where a scammer fakes a local 01505 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 01505 (Johnstone) number from outside the UK, drop the leading zero and dial +44 1505 followed by the local number.

How to stop unwanted calls for good
Blocking 01505 numbers stops that one number, but determined nuisance callers simply switch numbers. These steps cut the volume across the board:
- Silence unknown callers. iPhone: Settings → Apps → Phone → Silence Unknown Callers. Android: open Phone → Settings → Caller ID & spam and turn on filtering. Unknown numbers go straight to voicemail.
- Turn on your network's free spam shield. EE, O2, Vodafone, Three, Sky and most providers offer free spam/scam-call screening in their app or account settings.
- Register with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS). It's free and legally obliges UK companies to stop unsolicited sales calls within 28 days.
- Use a dedicated call-blocker app if nuisance calls are persistent — these screen against live community spam databases and can auto-reject flagged callers before your phone even rings.
- Never engage to "opt out". Pressing a key to be removed only confirms your number is live and usually means more calls.
