		The UK telephone numbering plan, also known as the National Numbering Plan, is regulated by the Office of Communications (Ofcom), which replaced the Office of Telecommunications (Oftel) in 2003.
		Note that the initial "0" of a telephone number (called the trunk prefix) is not properly considered part of the area code but is, rather, the national long distance calling prefix, and thus (for example) 023 is a "two-digit" area code.
		Likewise, "00" is the UK dialing prefix for international calls (to be followed by the international country code and number).

	Ofcom review of UK Telephone Numbering Plan \| Ofcom (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.cs.unc.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Telephone numbers underpin all telecoms services and play a key role in how UK households and businesses access and pay for £34 billion worth of services every year.
		Geographic numbers - the numbers used for homes and businesses in every part of the UK - are normally allocated to providers in blocks of ten thousand for each telephone exchange covering a specific area.
		No changes to geographic telephone numbers are proposed as part of the numbering framework; instead Ofcom is proposing specific measures to reduce the need for such changes in the years ahead.

		Note that the initial '0' of a telephone number (called the trunk prefix) is not properly considered part of the area code, and thus (for example) 023 is a "two-digit" area code, the "0" prefixes national numbers and "00" international numbers.
		Although calls from the UK to these islands are charged at the same rate as those to geographic numbers in the UK, calls to the Channel Islands may be excluded from calling plans offering unlimited UK fixed line calls.
		This is similar to the use of fictitious telephone numbers in the United States with the digits 555.

	Ofcom Numbering Plan \| PSU News October 2006
		Telephone numbers are essential to UK households and businesses, and Ofcom must ensure the most effective use of this important national resource.
		Ofcom plans to avoid changes to anyone’s geographic number in the future, primarily by improving the efficiency with which numbers are allocated.
		Telephone numbers will not be allocated to providers whose previous conduct points to a risk that they will be involved in future telephone scams.

		Many UK businesses employ this type of number because of extra benefits 08xx numbers can provide, such as fax to email, virtual office applications, and also because they are totally portable - if your business moves, the 08xx number can move with you.
		This is similar to the use of fictitious telephone numbers in the United States and Canada with the digits 555.
		Existing London numbers acquired the prefixes 7 or 8, but from that point on 020 7xxx xxxx and 020 8xxx xxxx numbers were assigned or reused anywhere in the London area covered by the single (city-wide) 020 code.

	Ofcom's new plan for telephone numbers \| OUT-LAW.COM
		Ofcom is therefore seeking to adapt its telephone numbering framework to encourage greater innovation, support the creation of new services, increase consumer awareness and enhance consumer protection.
		Create a new countrywide number range – 03 – which would be charged to the consumer at the same rate as calling a geographic number.
		Ofcom plans to band new numbers by price and type of service to develop an association in the consumer's mind that the lower the digit that follows 08 the lower the price in that range.

	BBC NEWS \| UK \| New 03 number for phones proposed
		Ofcom is consulting until 4 May on several changes to the UK's telephone numbering plan to meet demand.
		Under plans, rates charged to people calling 08 phone lines would be made clearer by linking the cost of the call to the third digit.
		Numbers starting 080 would be free, while 082 would be cheaper than 089.

	area codes resource page - telephone area codes
		A closed numbering plan is one in which the subscriber's number is a standard length, and a closed dialing plan is one in which the subscriber's number is used for all calls, even in the same area.
		Telephone numbers in Australia consist of a single digit area code and eight-digit local numbers, the first four of which generally specify the exchange, and the final four a line at that exchange.
		Prior to the introduction of eight-digit numbers in the early to mid-1990s, telephone numbers were seven digits in the major capital cities, with a single-digit area code, and six digits in other areas with a two-digit area code.

		The North American Numbering Plan +1 is an example, because there are always ten digits associated with each national number - 3 digits of area code followed by 7 digits of subscriber number.
		In the North American Numbering Plan +1 it is 1; it is merely co-incidental that the country code and trunk prefix are both 1.
		The old numbering is suddenly replaced by a new numbering format, on a date and time scheduled by the telephone regulator and/or carrier(s).

	Telephone Numbering Issues
		Therefore, Gibraltar telephone numbers, in order to be accessed from Spain, can only start with the digits 4, 5 or 7, followed by four digits, as these have not been allocated within the Cadiz province.
		Gibraltar has an urgent problem with telephone numbering and is asking that the "350" area code be recognised by Spain as it is by every other country in the world.
		In order to open our telephone service to competition as required by EU Directives from 1st January 1998, Gibraltar must be able to allocate parts of the numbering plan to competing operators.

		Although calls from UK landlines to these islands are charged at the same rate as those to geographic numbers in the UK, calls to the Channel Islands may be excluded from calling plans offering unlimited UK fixed line calls, and some mobile operators also charge more.
		Until then, some calls from the UK to Ireland were made through the operator and diverted to the "Irish Service".
		Although full international dialling is now used, calls from Northern Ireland landlines to landlines in the Republic are charged at UK national or local rates, and calls from Great Britain to the Republic are charged at a special "Irish Republic" rate, higher than inland rates, but lower than those for elsewhere in Western Europe.

	Ofcom unveils phone number plans \| The Register
		Ofcom is tinkering with telephone numbers to ensure there's plenty of digits to go around in the future.
		But the regulator moved to assure punters that it had no plans to meddle with geographic phone numbers as part of its review of the UK National Telephone Numbering Plan.
		It also wants to simplify charging structures for numbers beginning "08" and premium rate numbers beginning "09", and wants to bar providers from getting their hands on new numbers if they have a history of phone scams or ripping off punters.

	SAYNOTO0870.COM - Ofcom review of UK Telephone Numbering Plan
		OCP's are using NTS numbers to earn revenue without consumer knowledge as many don't openly publish the rates to these numbers and if they do then they hide it away in hard-to-find places on their website.
		I do feel that the 03 number proposal is still an etremely wastefull scheme, and imagine it to be only moderatly successful, but certainly not a highly demanded number range (no matter how idealistic some people are in their beliefs).
		There are issues with numbers "running out" in some areas, though, and this is supposed to relieve pressure on geographical numbers, and remove the need for everyone to change their phone number again.

	SAYNOTO0870.COM - Ofcom review of UK Telephone Numbering Plan
		I thought that 03 was reserved for this purpose, and bearing in mind that when 02 numbers were introduced it was felt that the likes of Coventry required a 3 digit code with an 8 digit local number rather than a 4 digit code with 7 digit local number.
		There is no city in UK that needs 100 million phone numbers, and few that need 1 million - though in fact there are not that many within each code as most are reserved or unallocated and none begin with 0, 1 or 9.
		As to keeping 03 free for further geographic phone numbers it seems unlikely that we will run out of 02 prefixed exchange codes before the end of the whole PSTN phone number based system and its complete replacement with voip phone names some time within the next 5 to 15 years.

		There was an integrated numbering plan among the countries, where area codes beginning with 1, 2 or 3 were in Kenya, area codes beginning with 4 were in Uganda, area codes beginning with 5 and 6 were in Tanzania, and area codes beginning with 7 were for mobile/wireless.
		Service development and numbering demands eventually meant that the integrated numbering plan could no longer be maintained among the three countries, and so was effectively ended with Tanzania's national renumbering in July 1999.
		Since the number of area codes available for assignment was restricted, and demand for new area codes has increased dramatically, the restriction on the second digit was removed in 1995 (e.g.

		To use this numbering plan in a National Toll Bypass configuration, set up a route filter to filter desired area codes.
		Dial plans that overlap cause interdigit timeouts, which are the amount of time that CallManager waits for additional key presses before it decides that the user has finished dialing the number and routes the call.
