0770 number - is it legit?

lara_412

I've been getting to know someone (online) and they've given me a number to text, however it's a 0770 number and I've never seen one of these before. Are they legit?

Looks OK to me. At least I don't see any 077 in T-mobile's list:
Non-inclusive 07 mobile numbers customers after 1st February 2012

Don't take my word for this though, as I don't see 078221 number either, but it is almost certainly "non-inclusive".
Neither do I 070 numbers that are 'personal'.

The code is used by GeoSIM a firm that provides users with a 'global' reach by using local networks - it is treated as a normal mobile in te UK, the rate will depend on the network you use to call it.

It will be an ordinary phone number, but you haven't given enough digits to identify the provider.

If the next digit is a 0 then it may be a global roaming SIM from one of the resellers of Cloud9 or on Sure in Jersey or a VoIP based mvno on 3.

Some but not all networks exclude these from their inclusive bundles.

Anything but 0 as next number then it's on O2 or has been ported from O2. I have 2 such numbers on O2

no need to, as I already did that as a double check of my answer as I wrote it
