In general O2 and Vodafone are in both 077 and 078 and T-Mobile and Orange
are 079 though.

Are they? My Orange PAYG is 078...

Ported numbers? It may be that new ranges were elsewhere but I don't think
so.

Husband's Vodafone is 077, my Virgin is 079 and the daughter's
goodness-knows-what but it started life as a 3 and I know she changed
providers without changing her number as she said 3 was cr*p is 078.

The logic is to use the last two digits of the year for Mar-Aug
registrations, ditto plus 50 for Sep-Dec, and the same code for Jan &
Feb of the following year. So Mar-Aug 2011 will be 11 and Sep 2011
to Feb 2012 will be 61. This formula will be valid until 28 Feb
2051, the last two 6-month periods using the codes 50 and 00.

Thanks Richard, Neil, Annabel and others for clearing that up (sorry
for the delay in responding, I've been away over the Christmas/New
Year period). I'd clearly been incorrectly informed about the
third/fourth digit structure. As it was explained to me at the time
the third digit would *always* be 0 or 5, dependant upon month of
registration, and the fourth digit would always be the last digit of
the year - hence my confusion! Obviously I was misinformed.

I see this in the FAQ: "The Isle of Man may choose to adopt the system
later and a series of marks has been reserved."

Anyone know what series has been reserved?

The whole I* series is free, but that's a LOT of plates - far more than the
IoM would really need. It might make more sense for them to follow the Isle
of Wight theory - HW is reserved for IoW.

Geography would suggest one of the P-for-Preston-&-Carlisle series, but
they're all allocated.

Mebbe the U* series is reserved for Ulster, and it'd come under that?

That was the original allocation (who was 076 allocated to?) but the ability
to retain numbers when transferring between providers has now rendered the
system obsolete. Actually it's a real problem for me - my contract allows me
free calls to other Vodafone users overnight and all day at weekends (plus
all landlines) but I'm unable to take advantage of calling friends on
mobiles because I'm no longer sure which of them are on Vodafone. Originally
one was able to tell simply from the number. I'm too mean to risk calling
another provider!

Except for the five that got completely changed.

I meant that all STD codes that did not start 01 were changed so that
they did start 01.

Again, not true. All the NI codes were changed to start 02, as were
several other places.

Not in 1995. They had 01 codes then and were changed (in London,
Southampton/Portsmouth, Coventry, NI and Cardiff) to 02 codes more
recently.

Of course the phone number in the subject line is within the 70

So is my office phone number. This arose because City University
already had phone numbers in two separate ranges, 7477 and 7505, and
would I believe have needed to find space in a third range for any
expansion in the number of separate phone numbers within the
university. So instead all the existing numbers were switched to the
7040 range (with a transitional period during which both old and new
numbers worked)

Only two blocks! Despite having far fewer lines we have two blocks (7227 &
7340) on our ISDN 30 and some odd lines in yet other blocks (7222 and
others) at work in Westminster.
