Re: Transfer tel 01708 to 0208

Just to note: 020 is the code for Greater London, the 3,7 or the 8 is part of your phone number.

You can have a:

020 3
020 7
020 8

Anywhere in London, the old 0171(071) and 0181(081) system went out the window 10 years ago and was permenantly withdrawn in October 2000.

Formatting the numbers as 0207 and 0208 is actually incorrect. If you need a second line or a second phone number or use BT Homehub or a similar Voip telephone service and want a London number, you will be given a 020 3 number. There is a shortage of numbers and to avoid another numberchange 020 3 was introduced to combat the problem as well as the new national 03 numbers for businesses.
