Brand new area code allocation post-BigNumber for a new town, chosen to be significantly different from the area codes of the adjacent areas of Gravesend and Dartford. [14] 01988 — Wigtown (WT8) 01989 — Ross-on-Wye, Wye Valley (WV9) 01990 — unused; 0990 was Wentworth (WW0) – numbers were transferred to 0344 [notes 14]
This leads to a restriction as to which initial digits can be used for subscriber numbers within those four-digit area codes, e.g. in the 01387 four-digit area code, subscriber numbers cannot begin with a 3 because 013873 is a separate five-digit area code; likewise in the 01946 four-digit area code, subscriber numbers cannot begin with a 7 ...
Worldwide distribution of country calling codes. Regions are coloured by first digit. Telephone country codes, originally termed International Codes by the International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (C.C.I.T.T.) in 1960, [1] but also sometimes referred to as "country dial-in codes", or historically "international subscriber dialing" (ISD) codes in the U.K., are telephone ...
The remainder of the "mixed" area code allocations and their history are detailed in the table below. Of the 11 area codes freed up for alternative use in the 1980s, only 5 were actually re-used for other services. For example, the 0541 area code was re-allocated to C&WC Area Call services. Six of the area codes remained unused.
01932 is the national dialling code for Weybridge in the United Kingdom. Before PhONEday, the area code was 0932. The mnemonic for 0932 corresponds with WE 2, where "WE" is taken from the letters W and E in Weybridge. In common with all other British area codes, the initial '0' is a trunk prefix that is not required when dialling from abroad.
Some widespread misunderstandings about area codes came about with the Big Number Change, most notably with London area codes. There is a widespread but erroneous assumption that London has several area codes – 0203, 0204, 0207 and 0208 – whereas, in fact, it has just one: 020. Similar misunderstandings came about with a few other area codes.

In 1995 the UK telecoms regulator, Oftel (now Ofcom), moved geographic area codes starting 0x1 to new 01x1, and starting 02xx to 09xx to new 012xx to 019xx, thus freeing many of the former 02xx to 09xx codes for new uses. Oftel reserved the whole of the 070 xxxx xxxx range exclusively for personal numbering, imitating the USA area code 700 ...
