This block — 0115 810 XXXX — was allocated by Ofcom to Linear Telecoms Limited in 2010. Linear Telecoms Limited either operates the numbers directly or sub-allocates them to resellers and downstream carriers, which is why a single 0115 810 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.
Some 0115 810 XXXX calls are silent — your phone rings, you answer, and nobody is there. These are usually 'predictive dialler' calls made by call-centres that dialled more numbers than they have agents available to handle. Ofcom rules require any unanswered abandoned call to play a short identifying message; if it doesn't, you can report the caller to Ofcom.
If a 0115 810 XXXX number called you and you're not sure who it was, the safest steps are: don't return the call until you've verified it (search the full number online first), don't share personal or financial details, and register the number with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) if it's a marketing call. Persistent unwanted calls can be reported to Ofcom and the ICO. To block a specific number on most UK mobiles and landlines, you can also enable network-level call screening through your provider.
