00335030222373 using this as an example.. how are UK #s set up? ie which set of numbers is the area code and which one is the actual phone number? calling from the US, I have to dial 001 + 4 + area code + phone number.. so what would I have to dial if I were calling the pretend number above? |
||||||||

That number doesn't look right. 222373 is the actual number which would make 35030 the area code. that's not right. All area codes start 01 in the UK. Unless you're in London of course in which case it's 0207 ro 0208 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, I made that number up.. what would 004 + 47040 be? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it would be "sorry, you are dumb" |

ZzzzING! god I feel stupid about ever posting again now! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
any idea? |
||||||||

OK a UK phone number will look like this: 01260 275009 or +44 (0)1260 275009 to call from the US or Canada you dial: 011 44 1260 275009 011=international code 44 =country code(UK) notice I have dropped the '0' from the original number, if you were dialing from the UK you would use the '0'. I hope this helps. |

Thanks for that I was just about to |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so what is this "004" nonsense then? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

god those phone numbers are dumb in the US ours make logical sense 123 (area code, part of the country you live in, think city or town) 456 (prefix to specify even closer to where you live, think neighborhood) 7891 (random numbers to differentiate) those british things look like how i dial my phone when im drunk |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so British phone numbers have one less group of possible digits. how does this make theirs less logical? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What is the number you are attempting to call make the last three numbers ***. So a bored geek won't phone it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't follow your difference. if anything ours are more logical. 01246 (Area Code) 666999 (Random differentiation code) London is the only place that's different. I don't know why. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It is because of the density of the population, greater and inner London have about the same population as Canada. |

00447040111*** |

|
|
hmm. not sure if i like it my country: 0047 + 8 digits |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
try 011 44 7040 111*** It looks like a cell phone number. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd wait until the morning as it is 12am right now. |

birmingham also has phone# beginning with 02 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

The 00 at the beginning is the access code to let the telephone network you are dially internationally, this is commonly replaced with the + symbol on mobile phones. The 44 is the country code for the UK. The number you have would be dialled as 07040111*** . When dialling from outside the UK the initial 0 is dropped giving 00447040111*** Any numbers beginning 07 in the UK are mobile rate networks (as though you are calling a mobile phone) The first five digits of your number (07040) imply that this isn't a genuine number but rather a forwarding service often used by dodgy ompanies who don't want to be traced. Good look. |

what the?? why doesnt mine look like that? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

how does 5 digits seem more logical than 3? more to forget, more to dial, looks stupid... i dont follow YOUR logic hahah fuck US phone number, fuck england's - let's all go back to party lines and paper cups on string WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
001 + 4 + 01325 + 123456 001401325123456 |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
less chance of dialing somebody elses number? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Actually that is total bullshit, because the first two digits of a UK number specify a local area within a bigger area and the third digit an even more local area within the local area. For instance, for Aberdeen the area code is 01224, then you have 58 which tells you that the number is in the plush west end of town, then you have a number between 1 and 8 which tells you more specifically where in the west end the house is located. |

Cunts that start sentences with the word "actually" should shut the fuck up. |
