TELEPHONE DIALLING CODES

After the invention of the telephone by in 1876, telephone calls were "connected" by "operators" in "exchanges" by plugging a cable into a socket to link the lines serving the caller and the call destination. Twenty years later, telephones started to be available with rotary dials which the caller used to select the number of the call destination. Electro-mechanical switching systems devised at the same time came into use a further ten years later, but manual switchboard operators were still connecting calls in remote exchanges in the early 1980s. The electro-mechanical switching systems (which continued as the principal technology until the early 1970s) imposed a limitation on the speed of dialling a digit. Dialling a complete ten- digit could take up to ten seconds, during which hardware resources had to be dedicated to an electrical circuit. The time to dial a digit was directly proportional to the numerical value of the digit, with the exception of zero, which required ten pulses in one second.

In cities, telephone exchanges were given names which provided a mnemonic (easily memorable) code such as WHI (Whitehall) for the governmental district of London or PEN (Pennsylvania) for the area around Penn station in New York. Each exchange could support 10,000 customers who were allocated numbers between 0000 and 9999 to create a 7 digit sequence (eg WHI 1234). In towns and rural areas, a similar system was applied without the mnemonic, usually limited to 6 and 5 digits respectively. The British system of mnemonic exchange names endured until 1968, when the alphabetical codes were converted into numerals according to the corresponding digits on the (eg Whitehall, WHI, became 944).

Initial use of numerical area codes began in 1947 in large cities of the United States and Canada for connecting long-distance telephone calls between telephone switching centres (still known as telephone "exchanges" in Britain). Through the , AT&T (the American Telephone and Telegraph company) held a telephone monopoly in North America until 1982. AT&T organised a "numbering plan" to minimize the cost of providing automatic dialling to large population centres. The area codes for the largest cities in the USA were initially assigned based on the volume of telephone calls made in each area. The most populous areas received codes that required the least time for dialling using a rotary dial telephone. The densely populated areas of , , Los Angeles and Detroit had large incoming call volumes and were assigned the shortest area codes (212, 312, 213, and 313 respectively). Areas that covered an entire state or province were given a zero as the middle digit, starting with 201 for New Jersey, and 202 for Washington DC.

Direct distance dialing (DDD) began in 1951 in the United States, connecting 11 principal cities and from 1958 subscriber trunk dialling (STD) connected 6 principal cities in Britain. Unlike the USA, where three-digit area codes were applied to whole states and sequenced according to expected demand, British area codes were created first as two letter mnemonic abbreviations of names of cities, towns and rural districts (eg CO for Coventry) and then converted into numerals according to the corresponding digits on the rotary dial. As letters B and C both coincide with numeral 2 on the dial, the area code for Coventry became 203, between Bournemouth (202) and Bolton (204), all of which had been given their final digits according to historical sequence of establishing local exchanges. Thus a system was created which was based generally upon an alphabetical sequence of place names, however grouped together according to where the first letter of a name occurred on the telephone dial. These codes were then prefixed with zero as a means to recognise a call being made outside the caller's own area.

American rotary dials differed from British dials, having the letters MNO corresponding to the numeral 6, whereas British dials had only MN corresponding to the numeral 6, with the letters OQ corresponding to the numeral 0 (zero). American dials had no letter Q, while numeral 0 (zero) had no corresponding letters. When alpha-numeric codes were replaced by solely numeric codes at the end of the 1960s, the technology favoured the American system and alpha-numeric codes containing both letter O and numeral zero (eg for Oxford) had to be reassigned, to leave the zero commencing digit available to provide direct dialling access to both the national and international systems.

The introduction of machines and in the 1980s required far more telephone numbers than had been anticipated in the design of the North American numbering plan and additional codes had to be added which eventually appeared to be random. However in Britain, the system was able to be enlarged in the 1990s by adding an additional digit at the beginning of each code (eg Coventry 0203 became 01203), retaining the logic

Before such expansion was envisaged, the North American numbering system was unfortunately also applied to international direct dialling in the early 1970s. The framework international numbering system divided the world into nine regions and area code numbers were sequenced according to expected demand, but also political assumptions of national growth and development from an American point of view. These expectations and assumptions have proved to be mistaken and the framework has had to be relaxed to such an extent that much of the numbering now appears to be random and illogical.
