Fifteen years after London changed to a single 020 area code, a very large number of people remain unaware of that fact. Part of the blame lies with various national newspapers that failed to properly explain the changes, but that's not the whole issue.
People who live in areas where their telephone numbers are all of the format 01xxx xxxxxx often incorrectly assume that all UK telephone numbers use the same format, hence 0118x xxxxxx, 020xx xxxxxx, etc.
People who live in areas where their telephone numbers are all of the format 011x xxx xxxx or 01x1 xxx xxxx often incorrectly assume that all UK telephone numbers use the same format, hence 0150 9xx xxxx, 020x xxx xxxx, etc.
There should be no need to make a statement about the cost of calling 01 and 02 numbers. If they insist on doing so, then 'calls are inclusive else geographic rate' should cover it.
