About the 01264 dialling code
01264 is the UK geographic dialling code for Andover, allocated by Ofcom under the National Telephone Numbering Plan. It is used by landlines — and increasingly VoIP lines — registered to the Andover area.
A full Andover number is normally written as 01264 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 01264 number no longer guarantees the caller is physically in Andover. Fraudsters also "spoof" local codes like 01264 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 01264 code
The code was 0264 until PhONEday, 16 April 1995, when a "1" was inserted after the leading zero to create 01264.
In the letter-dialling era the code had the mnemonic AN4 — on an old rotary dial, the letters AN (from Andover) sat on the same holes as the digits 264, so subscribers literally dialled the start of the town's name.

Is a call from 01264 safe?
Most 01264 calls are ordinary local calls from Andover homes and businesses. The main risk to be aware of is "neighbour spoofing", where a scammer fakes a local 01264 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 01264 (Andover) number from outside the UK, drop the leading zero and dial +44 1264 followed by the local number.
