Did not expect the call? Do not call back; contact the organisation on a number you find yourself.
A range holder is usually a network or wholesale provider that supplies numbers to other businesses. This Ofcom listing records an allocation only; it is not evidence about the range holder or caller. A number ported to another network still shows its original range holder here.
If a caller ID shows a Syntec Limited number and you did not expect the call, do not call back; contact the organisation you think it was on a number you find yourself.

What should I do after an unexpected call?
Syntec Limited is the range holder, not necessarily the organisation that called: numbers in its blocks are often used by its business customers.
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Do not call back a number you cannot identify. If it rang once and cut off, that is often a test that your line is live. |
| 2 | If the caller said they were your bank, a company or the police, hang up and phone the organisation on a number you find yourself, or call 159 for your bank. |
| 3 | Forward suspicious text messages to 7726, free of charge. |
| 4 | If you lost money or shared details, contact your bank at once and report to Action Fraud (England, Wales and Northern Ireland) or Police Scotland. |
| 5 | For unwanted marketing calls, report to the ICO and block the number on your phone. |
| 6 | Calls to 01 and 02 numbers are charged at your provider’s standard landline rate (gov.uk/call-charges). |
