Canterbury Area Code
Local phone numbers > UK area code phone numbers > Canterbury Area Code
1227
Canterbury's telephone numbers consists of a 4-digit Canterbury area code and an additional 6 digits for Canterbury local numbers. It follows the Geographical Number Format along with several cities and communities in the United Kingdom. Canterbury still uses its original 1227 area code.
The digit "1'" in its area code signifies that Canterbury was one of the areas that participated in PhONEday. This was the event in UK that added new set of numbers to their numbering system. When PhONEday was held in 1995, 9 billion numbers were readily available for consumers. This pool of numbers became the most important components for a new numbering scheme.
Aside from PhONEday, the Big Number Change was also implemented in the UK to augment the supply of phone numbers. This modification in the communication system was needed due to the accelerating exhaustion of numbers. Technological advances in the new millennium that needed the aid of phone lines to work were the reason for such rapid number acquisition of subscribers.
Although the Canterbury area code and the Canterbury local numbers were not affected with this new adjustment, an out of the country caller would still need to dial the 1227 area code before the Canterbury local numbers. Summing up the area's total number of digits to be dialed after trunk code zero (0) would give a total of ten (10) digits. That would be a lot of numbers to be memorized by the caller.
