About the 01864 dialling code
01864 is the UK geographic dialling code for Abington (S Lanarks), allocated by Ofcom under the National Telephone Numbering Plan. It is used by landlines — and increasingly VoIP lines — registered to the Abington (S Lanarks) area.
A full Abington (S Lanarks) number is normally written as 01864 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 01864 number no longer guarantees the caller is physically in Abington (S Lanarks). Fraudsters also "spoof" local codes like 01864 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 01864 safe?
