Phones - as candlestick phones - started creaping into wealthier households in the early 20th century, served by a small telephone exchange, probably in the back of a shop or village post office. It wasn't strictly true to say that these phones didn't have numbers. They did, but there was no way that anyone could use their phone to connect to anoth...
The next development was for the phones - stilll normally candlestick ones - was to have their number dials with their own phone number marked on the centres of the dial. With this type of phone, one subscriber could dial another but only on that very small exchange which meant only in the small local area.
According the following old poster shown below, by the 1930s phones in some areas could make connections directly to phones in other areas because exchangeswere larger with permanent connections to more exchanges and with many more operators. The system required new phone numbers: an area code of three letters followed the subscriber's numerical nu...
There was a logic to area codes being letters rather than numbers, in that they were the first three letters of the name of a local area. Our family lived in Edgware on the outskirts of London where the code was EDG, but so as not to overload the system, we were allocated STO which stood for Stonegrove, an area on the outskirts of Edgware. So our t...
These phone numbers were always spoken with the full name of the area code. So, with our STO 9804 telephone number, we announced who we were on answering our phone, by saying, "Stonegrove 9804", not STO 9804. Incidentally, it was considered very bad form just to say "Hello". How times have changed!
There were telephone directories of subscribers' telephone numbers. They were supplied free of charge to those households with phones and to public phone boxes. They were huge tomes, even though the print was tiny and the paper flimsy. A single book was out of the question because there were so many telephone numbers. So the directories came in sev...
Telephone directories didn't last long in telephone boxes as people took them for various reasons, but there was a display of area codes mounted on the wall of each box. One is shown in the following photo. It enlarges to a legible size on tap/click, but there is also a transcription below. Information mounted on the wall of London area telephone b...
As more and more people went on the phone, more numbers were needed, and it was decided to change area codes from letters to numbers and to bring the whole of the UK into a direct dialing system. The idea was that more numbers could easily be added at any stage by putting an extra digit in front of the original numbers. The system was called Subscr...
Most people I knew were irritated rather than impressed by the change. For a start, dialling O for the operator was so much more sensible than having to dial 100, which felt like change for change's sake, and telephone numbers with letters were much easier to remember than all-number ones. Also people had invested in printed headed writing paper sh...
The telephone service regions were divided into telephone Areas under Telephone Managers, of which there were ultimately 57 for the provinces and nine in London. Telephone Managers, with Head Postmasters acting as their agents on certain matters, were to be responsible for the day-to-day control of all aspects of the telephone service (engineering, traffic, sales and accounts).
Jul 19, 2023 · This innovation marked a crucial step towards the introduction of phone numbers. The first telephone exchange in the United Kingdom was established in London in 1879. Initially, phone numbers were not standardised, and users could request numbers of varying lengths.
The ability to see the telephone number of the person who is calling you. Either by a caller display unit or telephone, or by using the 1471 service. The service was originally set to be introduced on 5th November 1994 but was delayed until 22 November 1994 because of privacy concerns.
Number ranges starting 01 can have National Significant Number (NSN) length of 10 or (very rarely) 9 digits. NSN is the number of digits after the leading 0 trunk code or +44 international prefix. The 0800 range can have NSN length as 10, 9, or 7 digits. The 0845 range can have NSN length as 10 or 7 digits.

Numbers evolved in a piecemeal fashion, with numbers initially allocated on an exchange-by-exchange basis for calls connected by manual operators. Subscriber numbers reflected demand in each area, with single digit telephone numbers in very rural areas and longer numbers in cities.
