About the 01325 dialling code
01325 is the UK geographic dialling code for Darlington, allocated by Ofcom under the National Telephone Numbering Plan. It is used by landlines — and increasingly VoIP lines — registered to the Darlington area.
A full Darlington number is normally written as 01325 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 01325 number no longer guarantees the caller is physically in Darlington. Fraudsters also "spoof" local codes like 01325 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 01325 code
The code was 0325 until PhONEday, 16 April 1995, when a "1" was inserted after the leading zero to create 01325.
In the letter-dialling era the code had the mnemonic DA5 — on an old rotary dial, the letters DA (from Darlington) sat on the same holes as the digits 325, so subscribers literally dialled the start of the town's name.

Is a call from 01325 safe?
Most 01325 calls are ordinary local calls from Darlington homes and businesses. The main risk to be aware of is "neighbour spoofing", where a scammer fakes a local 01325 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 01325 (Darlington) number from outside the UK, drop the leading zero and dial +44 1325 followed by the local number.
