The dialling code for London is 020. Only.
NOT 0207 OR 0208. If you use either of these – that is, if you put the space after the 7 or the 8 – YOU ARE A COMPLETE FUCKWIT. No exceptions.
The point of a dialling code is to locate the area from outside that area. You do not need the code if you are inside that area. In Brighton, the code is 01273. For the fictional number 01273 123546, from inside Brighton you would simply dial 123456.
Thus, for the fictional London number 020 7654 1234, you would dial 7654 1234. Try leaving the 7 off and see how far you get.
Has that explained it simply enough? Or do you need a FUCKING DIAGRAM? OF A PHONE? YOU TWAT.
“”"For the fictional number 01273 123546, from inside Brighton you would simply dial 123456…”"”
…and you would get the SPEAKING CLOCK after dialling 123.
Example number would be better off as 234567 or 567890.
Yes, cunt. Well done. You’ve honed in exactly on the point I was making.
I don’t give a shit about the number itself, my point was about dialling codes, and referred to “the fictional number 01273 123546″.
Fuckbundle.
“”For the fictional number 01273 123546, from inside Brighton you would simply dial 123456″”.
I also wonder why you would want to dial 123456 to call someone on 123546. I thought you had to dial the numbers in the right order, “five then four” isn’t “four then five”.
All this other shit detracts from the main point of the post, but it is shit that is easily fixed if you can be arsed, or sometime next year when you’re sober.
Another thing.
01273 123456 is a perfectly valid Brighton number.
Ever heard of “National Dialling Only” numbers?
Those always need the code included.
The whole point is, they can’t be locally dialled because the local number part starts with a 0 or a 1.
