Ofcom has declared that certain regions of Britain won’t have the option to make local calls without the need for the area code as phone numbers in a number of areas are running out of numbers.

Bournemouth will see the scheme unveil in the coming year, with other areas which are short of numbers for example Aberdeen, Bradford, Brighton, Cambridge and Milton Keynes looking set to be involved in the scheme by 2016.

A great many other areas have been outlined as potentially requiring the usage of area codes in the next 10 years, but places such as London, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham and Edinburgh are not affected as they have smaller area codes.

Ofcom also stated that more phone number providers have put pressure on the availability of numbers and some of them are actually hanging onto numbers which has triggered the scarcity. To prevent this, Ofcom will now be charging providers 10p for each number to make certain they use numbers more efficiently, an expense which won’t be passed onto the public.

It is considered that this method will be less troublesome for both domestic and business customers, along with users of telephone systems for small business. Despite the fact that internal phone systems in some businesses may require some changes.
