About the 01584 dialling code
01584 is the UK geographic dialling code for Ludlow, allocated by Ofcom under the National Telephone Numbering Plan. It is used by landlines — and increasingly VoIP lines — registered to the Ludlow area.
A full Ludlow number is normally written as 01584 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 01584 number no longer guarantees the caller is physically in Ludlow. Fraudsters also "spoof" local codes like 01584 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 01584 code
The code was 0584 until PhONEday, 16 April 1995, when a "1" was inserted after the leading zero to create 01584.
In the letter-dialling era the code had the mnemonic LU4 — on an old rotary dial, the letters LU (from Ludlow) sat on the same holes as the digits 584, so subscribers literally dialled the start of the town's name.

Is a call from 01584 safe?
Most 01584 calls are ordinary local calls from Ludlow homes and businesses. The main risk to be aware of is "neighbour spoofing", where a scammer fakes a local 01584 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 01584 (Ludlow) number from outside the UK, drop the leading zero and dial +44 1584 followed by the local number.
