01792 is the area code for Swansea, Wales's second city, and nearby areas including the Gower peninsula and parts of Neath Port Talbot. Swansea has two universities, Morriston and Singleton hospitals, and the DVLA headquarters, which is a major local employer. Calls from 01792 numbers might come from Swansea Council, Swansea Bay University Health Board, GP surgeries, universities, government offices or local businesses. Remember that an 01792 number can be ported or used through internet phone services anywhere, and that fraudsters can spoof caller ID, including numbers that appear to belong to the DVLA.
Who called me from 01792?
The prefix tells you where the line was originally registered (Swansea), 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.
