Who called me from a Internet of Things Limited number?

Internet of Things Limited is a UK communications provider. That means Ofcom has allocated Internet of Things Limited one or more blocks of UK telephone numbers under the National Telephone Numbering Plan, which Internet of Things Limited can either use for its own customers or sub-allocate to resellers and downstream providers. In total, Internet of Things Limited currently holds 59 allocated number blocks in our copy of the Ofcom plan.

Internet of Things Limited's number ranges are concentrated in 0800, 0151 (Liverpool), 0161 (Manchester), (020) (London). Across all of its allocations the split is roughly 43 geographic landline, 7 premium-rate, 4 03 non-geographic, 3 freephone, 2 personal blocks. You can use the tables below to jump straight to a specific Internet of Things Limited area code or number block and see the common call patterns reported for it.

The oldest Internet of Things Limited number block in the Ofcom data was allocated in 2018, and the most recent in 2021. Allocation dates matter because a number that has been live for many years is more likely to be a settled business or residential line, whereas a very recently-allocated block is more commonly seen in VoIP and virtual-number services — the kind sometimes used for short-lived marketing or scam campaigns.

Is a Internet of Things Limited number safe to answer? In most cases, yes — the overwhelming majority of calls from any UK provider's range are ordinary, legitimate calls. However, two things are important to understand. First, because Internet of Things Limited can sub-allocate or resell its numbers, the fact that a number sits in a Internet of Things Limited block does not mean Internet of Things Limited itself is calling you. Second, UK caller IDs can be spoofed: scammers can make a call appear to come from a Internet of Things Limited number they don't control. So treat the number as a clue, not proof — judge the call on what the caller actually asks for.

If a Internet of Things Limited number called you and you're unsure, don't share security details, bank information or one-time passcodes, and don't return the call until you've verified it independently. You can block the specific number on any UK smartphone from the recent-calls list, enable free network-level call screening through your own landline provider, and register with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS) to cut legitimate marketing calls. Persistent nuisance calls can be reported to Ofcom, and suspected scams to Action Fraud (or Police Scotland on 101).
