Block 0345 584 XXXX is allocated by Ofcom to BT, on the UK Non-geographic exchange (allocated 2007).
0345 584 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 0345 584 XXXX number does not tell you where the receiving business is located — it's a UK-wide line.
This block — 0345 584 XXXX — was allocated by Ofcom to BT in 2007. BT either operates the numbers directly or sub-allocates them to resellers and downstream carriers, which is why a single 0345 584 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.
Insurance and accident-claims cold calls remain a heavy source of unsolicited 0345 584 XXXX-prefix traffic. Since 2019 it has been illegal under UK law to make unsolicited cold calls about pensions, and similar tightening is in force for insurance leads. You can register your number with the TPS for free to block legitimate UK marketing calls.
If a 0345 584 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.
