01452 is the area code for Gloucester and surrounding parts of Gloucestershire. Gloucester is a cathedral city and the home of Gloucestershire County Council, so calls from 01452 numbers often come from the county or city council, Gloucestershire Royal Hospital, GP surgeries, schools, insurers and local businesses. Neighbouring Cheltenham has its own code, 01242. Because geographic numbers are portable and can be used on internet phone systems anywhere, and because scammers can spoof caller ID, an 01452 number appearing on your phone should not on its own persuade you that a caller is genuine.
Who called me from 01452?
The prefix tells you where the line was originally registered (Gloucester), but not who is behind it. Numbers can be ported between networks and caller ID can be spoofed, so a familiar code is no guarantee. Search the full number to see its current carrier, line type and whether other people have reported it.
