About the 01722 dialling code
01722 is the UK geographic dialling code for Salisbury, allocated by Ofcom under the National Telephone Numbering Plan. It is used by landlines — and increasingly VoIP lines — registered to the Salisbury area.
A full Salisbury number is normally written as 01722 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 01722 number no longer guarantees the caller is physically in Salisbury. Fraudsters also "spoof" local codes like 01722 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 01722 code
The code was 0722 until PhONEday, 16 April 1995, when a "1" was inserted after the leading zero to create 01722.
In the letter-dialling era the code had the mnemonic SA2 — on an old rotary dial, the letters SA (from Salisbury) sat on the same holes as the digits 722, so subscribers literally dialled the start of the town's name.

Is a call from 01722 safe?
Most 01722 calls are ordinary local calls from Salisbury homes and businesses. The main risk to be aware of is "neighbour spoofing", where a scammer fakes a local 01722 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 01722 (Salisbury) number from outside the UK, drop the leading zero and dial +44 1722 followed by the local number.
