National Telephone Numbering Plan

From aa-asterisk.org.uk wiki

See Sabc.txt for the UK area code list.

The UK National Telephone Numbering Plan is a document published by Ofcom and defines precisely which number ranges are used for which purposes, as well as the geographic charge groups and so on.

In 2003, the plan was revised. True to style, Oftel botched the job with a huge number of spelling mistakes, illogical names, and many other errors in their proposal document. Both BT and C&W commented on the proposal and highlighted some of the errors. Some of those errors were fixed by Ofcom over the next few years, others only after many years, but a lot of the problems still remain in 2012.

Ofcom publishes the UK numbering and area code data in several ways:

The National Telephone Numbering Plan document as a PDF file (see External Links section below).
The list of area codes, area code lengths and area code names, as a text file (sabc.txt).
A series of text files and spreadsheets listing UK number ranges with the number format and name of company managing each range.

One problem is that the data is incomplete. For example, in the sabc.txt file only a few of the 3 digit area codes have been marked as such. One area code is completely missing from the list in the PDF file. Another problem is that several area code names have spelling mistakes in either, or both, the PDF document and the sabc.txt file. Additionally, several number ranges are recorded with the wrong format in some, or all, of the text files and spreadsheets and the sabc.txt file.

Ofcom believe the following area code names were changed in 2003: 1248, 1268, 1275, 1276, 1291, 1293, 1306, 1322, 1327, 1334, 1344, 1354, 1356, 1375, 1384, 1394, 1425, 1438, 1442, 1451, 1454, 1461, 1470, 1471, 1477, 1478, 1485, 1488, 1489, 1491, 1543, 1561, 1562, 1582, 1588, 1598, 1661, 1668, 1675, 1680, 1681, 1684, 1688, 1689, 1695, 1707, 1720, 1727, 1737, 1744, 1753, 1770, 1784, 1806, 1821, 1856, 1870, 1877, 1883, 1885, 1889, 1895, 1908, 1920, 1922, 1926, 1928, 1932, 1952, 1953, 1963, 1980, 1983, 1984, 1992., but the list R is not correct.

Several of the above area codes did not see any name change in 2003. It had been proposed to change some names, but in the end either the original BT name continued to be used or a completely new name suggested by either BT or C&W, or by both, was adopted.

The Ofcom proposal also contained a large number of spelling mistakes in the proposed area code names. Some of those errors were rectified within weeks or months, while others have still not been fixed almost nine years later. Additionally, several other areas changed their name after suggestions by BT and/or C&W, although Ofcom originally had no plans to change them. There are also several areas which changed name but are not listed above. Finally, some names were changed in one Ofcom document but were not updated in the other Ofcom document until several years later. Some have still not been updated or corrected.

A small number of place names were fixed in the SABC CSV document in 2010 or 2011 and nine place names were fixed in the reissued version of the UK NTNP PDF document in mid-December 2011.E.

The following table shows the true extent of the changes proposed in 2003, what was actually changed, and the myriad of errors in the proposals, responses and implementation, both then and since. Updated: 2012-03-10.
