0370 numbers are part of the 037 range, which Ofcom reserved so that organisations with 0870 numbers could move to an 03 number ending in the same digits. A business that used 0870 123 4567 might now publish 0370 123 4567 instead. The point of the change is cost: calls to 0370 numbers are charged like calls to a standard landline and come out of inclusive minutes, while 0870 calls carry an access charge plus a service charge. 0370 numbers are used by companies, public bodies and service providers for customer contact lines. Like other numbers, they can be spoofed by callers who want to appear legitimate.
If a caller using an 0370 number asks for card details or remote access to your computer, hang up and contact the organisation through an independently checked number.
Who called me from 0370?
The prefix tells you what kind of number it is (uk-wide (0370, migrated from 0870)), 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.
