Calls from 01302 Numbers
More often than not, if you receive a call from a number beginning with the area code 01302, the caller is a business or person situated in the Doncaster region. This is because the area code is tied to the geographic location of Doncaster, so most numbers with this prefix are assigned to local residents and businesses.
However, it is important to note that companies can buy virtual 01302 numbers to give the impression that they are based in the Doncaster area. This is a common way for telemarketing companies to win over locals’ trust and make their calls seem more legitimate.
These virtual numbers allow companies to appear as if they are calling from the local area, even if they are based elsewhere in the country or even overseas. This can be a successful marketing strategy since it fosters connections with potential clients and increases the likelihood that a sale will be made.
