About the 01922 dialling code
01922 is the UK geographic dialling code for Walsall, allocated by Ofcom under the National Telephone Numbering Plan. It is used by landlines — and increasingly VoIP lines — registered to the Walsall area.
A full Walsall number is normally written as 01922 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 01922 number no longer guarantees the caller is physically in Walsall. Fraudsters also "spoof" local codes like 01922 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 01922 code
The code was 0922 until PhONEday, 16 April 1995, when a "1" was inserted after the leading zero to create 01922.
In the letter-dialling era the code had the mnemonic WA2 — on an old rotary dial, the letters WA (from Walsall) sat on the same holes as the digits 922, so subscribers literally dialled the start of the town's name.

Is a call from 01922 safe?
Most 01922 calls are ordinary local calls from Walsall homes and businesses. The main risk to be aware of is "neighbour spoofing", where a scammer fakes a local 01922 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 01922 (Walsall) number from outside the UK, drop the leading zero and dial +44 1922 followed by the local number.
