About the 01322 dialling code
01322 is the UK geographic dialling code for Dartford, allocated by Ofcom under the National Telephone Numbering Plan. It is used by landlines — and increasingly VoIP lines — registered to the Dartford area.
A full Dartford number is normally written as 01322 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 01322 number no longer guarantees the caller is physically in Dartford. Fraudsters also "spoof" local codes like 01322 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 01322 code
The code was 0322 until PhONEday, 16 April 1995, when a "1" was inserted after the leading zero to create 01322.
In the letter-dialling era the code had the mnemonic DA2 — on an old rotary dial, the letters DA (from Dartford) sat on the same holes as the digits 322, so subscribers literally dialled the start of the town's name.

Is a call from 01322 safe?
Most 01322 calls are ordinary local calls from Dartford homes and businesses. The main risk to be aware of is "neighbour spoofing", where a scammer fakes a local 01322 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 01322 (Dartford) number from outside the UK, drop the leading zero and dial +44 1322 followed by the local number.
