01738 is the area code for Perth and nearby parts of Perth and Kinross in central Scotland. Perth is the administrative centre of Perth and Kinross Council and has notable insurance, energy and transport employers. Calls from 01738 numbers might come from the council, NHS Tayside, GP practices, schools, insurers, energy companies or local businesses. Like all UK geographic numbers, an 01738 number can be ported to another provider and used over the internet from anywhere, and caller ID can be faked, so check the identity of an unexpected caller before acting on what they say.
Who called me from 01738?
The prefix tells you where the line was originally registered (Perth), 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.
