About the 01373 dialling code
01373 is the UK geographic dialling code for Frome, allocated by Ofcom under the National Telephone Numbering Plan. It is used by landlines — and increasingly VoIP lines — registered to the Frome area.
A full Frome number is normally written as 01373 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 01373 number no longer guarantees the caller is physically in Frome. Fraudsters also "spoof" local codes like 01373 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 01373 code
The code was 0373 until PhONEday, 16 April 1995, when a "1" was inserted after the leading zero to create 01373.
In the letter-dialling era the code had the mnemonic FR3 — on an old rotary dial, the letters FR (from Frome) sat on the same holes as the digits 373, so subscribers literally dialled the start of the town's name.

Is a call from 01373 safe?
Most 01373 calls are ordinary local calls from Frome homes and businesses. The main risk to be aware of is "neighbour spoofing", where a scammer fakes a local 01373 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 01373 (Frome) number from outside the UK, drop the leading zero and dial +44 1373 followed by the local number.
