About the 01328 dialling code
01328 is the UK geographic dialling code for Fakenham, allocated by Ofcom under the National Telephone Numbering Plan. It is used by landlines — and increasingly VoIP lines — registered to the Fakenham area.
A full Fakenham number is normally written as 01328 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 01328 number no longer guarantees the caller is physically in Fakenham. Fraudsters also "spoof" local codes like 01328 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 01328 code
The code was 0328 until PhONEday, 16 April 1995, when a "1" was inserted after the leading zero to create 01328.
In the letter-dialling era the code had the mnemonic FA8 — on an old rotary dial, the letters FA (from Fakenham) sat on the same holes as the digits 328, so subscribers literally dialled the start of the town's name.

Is a call from 01328 safe?
Most 01328 calls are ordinary local calls from Fakenham homes and businesses. The main risk to be aware of is "neighbour spoofing", where a scammer fakes a local 01328 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 01328 (Fakenham) number from outside the UK, drop the leading zero and dial +44 1328 followed by the local number.
