The stock of phone numbers for the Chester area code was rapidly being taken by subscribers and consumers. The increase in the population was not only the reason for such an incident. The increase in the number of devices that use phone lines such as fax machines and direct dial-in (DDI) lines also contributed to the depletion of the initial Chester area code. The efficiency and competency of these gadgets led to its mushrooming. Due to this, the need for new phone numbers has eclipsed the capacity of the supply of the Chester area code.
UK’s Office of Communications (OFcom) was the one assigned to devise a new plan to counter this imminent problem. As a solution, OFcom designed a new telephone numbering scheme. The plan that they have concocted was the utilization of the 4-digit area codes. This was done in 1995 during PhONEday. This area code format is done by introducing the digit “1” unto the original area codes. “1” is to be placed between the trunk code “0” and the pioneer area codes. This type of change in the area code brought forth a new area code pattern. It resulted to the creation of the (01XXX) XXXXXX from the once (0XXX) XXXXXX. The area code will be composed of 4 figures and the local number would be made up of 6 digits. There are some areas though that employs only 5 digits as their local number, but those locations would be insignificant when compared to the areas using 6 figures.
