Local or National telephone numbers (01,02)
When an order for a new telephone line is placed you are usually given a local geographic number. (This is not always the case with newer VOIP systems.) This number is normally associated with your postcode. Examples would be if you are in the Nottingham telephone area then your telephone number would begin 0115, the national destination code for Nottingham. Derby would be 01332, Mansfield 01623, Chesterfield 01246, York 01904, Sheffield 0114, Harrogate 01423 and so on.
Many businesses nowadays find it useful to have a number from an area other than the one they are based in. A company based in Leeds would normally have 0113 as their main dial code, but they might also want to appear to have a presence in Bradford 01274 and Wakefield 01924, and so on.
