This block — 01373 55 XXXX — was allocated by Ofcom to Net-Work Internet Ltd in 2008. Net-Work Internet Ltd either operates the numbers directly or sub-allocates them to resellers and downstream carriers, which is why a single 01373 55 XXXX prefix can be used by many different organisations.

Calls from 01373 55 XXXX numbers that ask you to 'press 1' or to call back a different number should be treated with caution. This is a classic premium-rate trap — the call-back number is often in the 09xx range and costs several pounds per minute. Never call back an unfamiliar number you've been instructed to dial.
If a 01373 55 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.
