What kind of number is 0333 212 0798?
0333 212 XXXX is part of the UK 03 / 05 non-geographic range. These numbers are charged at the same rate as a standard UK landline call, including from inclusive minutes packages. A 0333 212 XXXX number does not tell you where the receiving business is located — it's a UK-wide line.
This block — 0333 212 XXXX — was allocated by Ofcom to API Telecom Limited in 2012. API Telecom Limited either operates the numbers directly or sub-allocates them to resellers and downstream carriers, which is why a single 0333 212 XXXX prefix can be used by many different organisations. You can verify any allocation against Ofcom's National Telephone Numbering Plan, which is updated weekly.
Is it safe to answer or call back 0333 212 0798?
Keep in mind that a phone number is a clue, not proof of identity. UK caller IDs can be forged (spoofed) by VoIP systems anywhere in the world, and legitimate numbers are sometimes hijacked for short scam campaigns then abandoned. Judge each call on its substance: a genuine organisation will happily let you hang up and call back via the number on its official website.
What to do if 0333 212 0798 called you
- Don't act on the call alone. If the caller claimed to be your bank, HMRC, a courier or a utility, hang up and contact the organisation on a number you find yourself — never one the caller gives you. For banks, dial 159.
- Never share security details. Full passwords, PINs and one-time passcodes are never requested by legitimate UK organisations on an outbound call.
- Don't return a missed call you don't recognise. One-ring 'wangiri' scams rely on call-backs, sometimes routed to premium-rate lines.
- Report what happened. Use the report form above to warn other UK users, and report fraud attempts to Action Fraud (or 101 in Scotland).
- If money or details were given, contact your bank immediately on 159 and report to Action Fraud.

About 0333 numbers
Some calls from blocks like 0333 212 XXXX are actually one-ring 'wangiri' calls — the line rings once and disconnects, hoping you'll call back. While wangiri is more common from foreign numbers, UK number-spoofing means 0333 212 XXXX-style ringbacks are not unheard of. Don't return missed calls from unknown numbers without checking them first.
