In the United Kingdom, numbers beginning 05 are non-geographic numbers used for special purposes.

Numbers beginning 0500 are old freephone numbers. They are being gradually replaced by 0800 and 0808 numbers, but some still exist.

Numbers beginning 055 are corporate numbers for large businesses. They allow big companies to have a large, dedicated block of numbers that aren't linked to a specific part of the country. For example, Santander's UK bank branches use a block of numbers beginning 05511.

Numbers beginning 056 are for VOIP phones and other similar non-geographic phone services. However, many people prefer to take the option of using a regular, geographic area code instead so these 056 numbers are still quite rare.
