031 where's that? (Read 7,721 times)

alanh57 Newbie Offline Posts: 5	031 where's that? May 28^th, 2007 at 2:35pm Hi, Just had a call, possibly a cold caller asking for me. When I checked the number via 1471 it was given as 031 something. Does anyone know where this is? Apart from the old code for Edinburgh I didn't know that the UK had any 03 codes!!

Reply #2 - May 28^th, 2007 at 3:19pm Thanks Derrick, for the record the number given that called me was: 031 516 8353 so you can see it looks like an old Edinburgh number at first. I trust that before giving these out they have checked that they isn't an 0131 516 8353 as I can see folks inserting the 1 that isn't there in the code.

I got the info from here:- http://www.ukphoneinfo.com/section/tci/locator.shtml

just put the number in and it will give certain info, the info given when that number is put in is:-

03151 68353 BT have not yet specified a rate for calls to this code - it may not yet be in service.

According to the Ofcom website (http://www.ofcom.org.uk/telecoms/ioi/numbers/num_user_guide#2), only ranges 030, 033, 034 and 037 are being allocated - not 031.
