Police believe 829 people were "likely" victims of phone-hacking by newspapers, the Leveson Inquiry has heard.
Deputy Assistant Commissioner Sue Akers confirmed to the inquiry that 581 of those had been contacted.
However, 231 could not be identified, and 17 had not been told due to "operational reasons".
She is overseeing three investigations involving claims of newspaper hacking. Ninety police staff are involved in Operation Weeting.
