I am trying to familiarize myself with every possible length of UK phone number and also trying to discover if there are any 'peculiar' numbers I should know about.
Any input on this topic would be appreciated.
Wolverhampton local numbers are indeed 6 digits long. (11 Digits in total if you add the area code of 01902)
If I had a pots line with BT and I lived in Wolverhampton, my BT number would be 01902123456. When calling this number within the Wolverhampton area I can drop the 01902 and simply dial 123456. If calling from Swansea which has the area code 01792, I would need to enter the full number 01902123456.
There are no four digit local numbers anymore - We have service numbers such as 1471 or 1571 which connect you to services such as Call Return and Voicemail.
Local numbers here in Swansea are also 6 digits in length, 6 digits plus an area code of 5 digits are the most common this way. (6+4 = 11 digits all in)
020 numbers should be displayed in the format 020 xxxx xxxx or (020) xxxx xxxx, with the first space always placed between '020' and the eight-digit local number.

There are special numbers such as 0800 1111 and 0845 4647. The UK OBIHAI dialplan covers all of these and more.
