About Virgin Media in the Ofcom register
Virgin Media 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 Virgin Media 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.
Virgin Media's UK number allocation
Ofcom has allocated 3,236 number blocks to Virgin Media Limited. Each block is typically 1,000 or 10,000 consecutive numbers. The mix below shows what kinds of numbers Virgin Media runs — useful context for judging whether a call claiming to be from Virgin Media is plausible.
| Number type | Allocated blocks | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Geographic landline (01 / 02) | 2,653 | 82% |
| Premium rate (09) | 217 | 7% |
| Freephone & special-rate (08) | 190 | 6% |
| UK-wide non-geographic (03) | 160 | 5% |
| Service & access codes | 16 | 0% |
Are Virgin Media numbers safe to answer?
Usually, yes — the vast majority of calls from Virgin Media-allocated ranges are ordinary, legitimate calls. But a number sitting in a Virgin Media 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 Virgin Media'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.
How to block and report unwanted Virgin Media calls

Full step-by-step instructions for every phone, network-level blocking and all UK reporting routes are in our guide: How to block and report unwanted calls in the UK.
How to stop unwanted calls for good

Frequently asked questions about Virgin Media numbers
Are Virgin Media numbers always genuine?
No. While Virgin Media is allocated UK number ranges by Ofcom, scammers commonly spoof or hijack numbers from any UK operator's range. A number being in a Virgin Media-allocated block does not guarantee the caller is Virgin Media or Virgin Media-owned.
How do I report a Virgin Media 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 Virgin Media 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 Virgin Media numbers reported as scam more than others?
Fraudsters target ranges they know are widely allocated, so the volume of reports per Virgin Media number reflects the size of the active block more than Virgin Media's own conduct. Numbers in newer or larger ranges naturally see more reports purely on volume.
