About the 01594 dialling code
01594 is the UK geographic dialling code for Lydney, allocated by Ofcom under the National Telephone Numbering Plan. It is used by landlines — and increasingly VoIP lines — registered to the Lydney area.
A full Lydney number is normally written as 01594 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 01594 number no longer guarantees the caller is physically in Lydney. Fraudsters also "spoof" local codes like 01594 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 01594 code
The code was 0594 until PhONEday, 16 April 1995, when a "1" was inserted after the leading zero to create 01594.
In the letter-dialling era the code had the mnemonic LY4 — on an old rotary dial, the letters LY (from Lydney) sat on the same holes as the digits 594, so subscribers literally dialled the start of the town's name.

Is a call from 01594 safe?
Most 01594 calls are ordinary local calls from Lydney homes and businesses. The main risk to be aware of is "neighbour spoofing", where a scammer fakes a local 01594 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 01594 (Lydney) number from outside the UK, drop the leading zero and dial +44 1594 followed by the local number.
