About the 01432 dialling code
01432 is the UK geographic dialling code for Hereford, allocated by Ofcom under the National Telephone Numbering Plan. It is used by landlines — and increasingly VoIP lines — registered to the Hereford area.
A full Hereford number is normally written as 01432 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 01432 number no longer guarantees the caller is physically in Hereford. Fraudsters also "spoof" local codes like 01432 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 01432 code
The code was 0432 until PhONEday, 16 April 1995, when a "1" was inserted after the leading zero to create 01432.
In the letter-dialling era the code had the mnemonic HE2 — on an old rotary dial, the letters HE (from Hereford) sat on the same holes as the digits 432, so subscribers literally dialled the start of the town's name.

Is a call from 01432 safe?
Most 01432 calls are ordinary local calls from Hereford homes and businesses. The main risk to be aware of is "neighbour spoofing", where a scammer fakes a local 01432 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 01432 (Hereford) number from outside the UK, drop the leading zero and dial +44 1432 followed by the local number.
