From the OFCOM site's FAQ: "Q: Since when has the London Code been 020? Arent there two London codes 0207 and 0208? A: There has only been one area code for London (020) since April 2000. In 1997, following public consultation, Oftel announced that 020 would become the code for Greater London with effect from April 2000, following 2 years of parallel running with 0171 and 0181 (ie, between 1998 and 2000). With the adoption of 020, Greater London moved from having 7-digit local numbers to having 8-digit local numbers. 8 or 7 became the first digit of the local number, depending on whether the number had previously been Inner (0171) or Outer (0181) London." Just one example of a London 0207 number being St Thomas's hospital on South side of Westminster bridge opposite House of Parliament: http://www.guysandstthomas.nhs.uk/vi...lstthomas.aspx "Tel: 020 7188 7188" And this is one example of a London 0208 number scroll down to Tottenham http://www.powerleague.co.uk/location.asp Yes, they're ignorant too. -- Richard J.

Isn't it suspected that much of the reluctance to use the codes properly comes from people who believe there is a social cachet to (what they believe is) the inner London area? However, the BT system is not consistent nationally. Their web dialling code finder tells you that 0207 and 0208 are not recognised codes, but they did the same type of change in Portsmouth (023 92nn nnnn) and Southampton (023 80nn nnnn), but 023 is not a recognised area code, 02392 and 02380 show up as good. Local dialling definitely requires 8 digits, can anyone explain that? Paul |

Let's put it this way. There are two big phone providers in the London area, BT and Virgin Media. Numbers are portable between carriers and within carriers subject to a few limitations and possible costs depending on the circumstances. As time goes by, the geographical correlation will reduce with porting but given the size of the existing user base, it seems unlikely that it will disappear entirely. Recycled numbers tend to stay in the same place. To add to the confusing mix, a VoIP provider, like Skype, can give you an 020 number (just one of many available UK STD codes) and so this clearly does not lend itself to any meaningful geographical interpretation. They're just numbers. ESB |

It looks like they have a standard template for each department to put in its appointments number and it defaults to the old 0181 version of the switchboard. So it is not only a useless number but even updated it is the wrong one. G. |

Somehow, I imagine there are many people in London who don't know that they can do that. The scary thing is that this was such a simple change, and there are still 59% of the population who don't understand it. Just tax the stupid people! |

I can. It's because the London numbers changed from 071 and 081 to 0171
and 0181 at the time they introduced area codes starting 01. Had they gone straight to 020 at that time, much of the confusion would never have happened. I'd shift the problem back even further. Going from 01 to 071 and 081 was the short sighted move for me. I was at UCL at the time and they went from having a single telephone number to direct dialling of all extensions at around that time. So I was underwhelmed at the boasts of a doubling of the numbering space when just one institution was now using about 10,000 times the numbers it was. Was there a technical reason why eight digit numbers couldn't have been introduced back then and saved us all a lot of hassle? |

Of course, HENdon became, through all the changes, 8201 - presumably because they tied it in with COLindale. The Hendon Exchanges became 202 (Sunnyhill) and 203 IIRC. 201 is a newcomer, as is 209. Ah, yes, HENdon went to 202, and SUNnyhill 203 according to the list at http://www.rhaworth.myby.co.uk/phreak/tenp_01.htm 8209 of course is new, because in the old days, there was BOWes Park which became 888. -- Phil Reynolds mail: (though I'd prefer followups on group) Web: http://www.tinsleyviaduct.com/phil/ Waltham 67, Emley Moor 69, Droitwich 79, Windows 95 |
