About Magrathea in the Ofcom register
Magrathea is one of the UK communications providers allocated number ranges by Ofcom under the National Telephone Numbering Plan. Number allocations are recorded against the legal entity Magrathea Telecommunications Limited. Numbers within those ranges may now be in active use by the original allocated subscriber, may have been ported to another carrier under UK number portability rules, or may have been re-issued after being returned to the operator's pool — so the Ofcom range holder is not a guarantee of the current call source.
Magrathea's UK number allocation
Ofcom has allocated 1,603 number blocks to Magrathea Telecommunications Limited. Each block is typically 1,000 or 10,000 consecutive numbers. The mix below shows what kinds of numbers Magrathea runs — useful context for judging whether a call claiming to be from Magrathea is plausible.
| Number type | Allocated blocks | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Geographic landline (01 / 02) | 1,355 | 85% |
| Freephone & special-rate (08) | 92 | 6% |
| UK-wide non-geographic (03) | 66 | 4% |
| Premium rate (09) | 49 | 3% |
| Corporate & VoIP (056) | 23 | 1% |
| Mobile (07) | 14 | 1% |
| Service & access codes | 4 | 0% |
Are Magrathea numbers safe to answer?
Usually, yes — the vast majority of calls from Magrathea-allocated ranges are ordinary, legitimate calls. But a number sitting in a Magrathea range is not a guarantee of safety: fraudsters routinely spoof or hijack numbers from every major UK operator, and porting means a number may no longer be on Magrathea's network at all. Judge each call on what's actually said: never hand over bank details, passwords or one-time security codes to an unexpected caller, and if in doubt hang up and call the organisation back on a number you have verified independently.

Frequently asked questions about Magrathea numbers
Are Magrathea numbers always genuine?
No. While Magrathea is allocated UK number ranges by Ofcom, scammers commonly spoof or hijack numbers from any UK operator's range. A number being in a Magrathea-allocated block does not guarantee the caller is Magrathea or Magrathea-owned.
How do I report a Magrathea spam call?
Forward spam SMS messages to 7726 (free of charge — works for all UK mobile networks). Report unsolicited marketing calls to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk/concerns. If you lost money to a scam call, report to Action Fraud at actionfraud.police.uk or 0300 123 2040.
How do I block a Magrathea number?
On iPhone, tap (i) next to the number in Recents and choose Block this Caller. On Android, long-press the number and choose Block / Report spam. To prevent unknown callers ringing through, enable Settings → Phone → Silence Unknown Callers (iPhone) or your dialler's spam filter (Android).
Why are some Magrathea numbers reported as scam more than others?
Fraudsters target ranges they know are widely allocated, so the volume of reports per Magrathea number reflects the size of the active block more than Magrathea's own conduct. Numbers in newer or larger ranges naturally see more reports purely on volume.
