Area code history

Oakham's original area code was 0023. This lasted until 1968 when the code was changed to 0572, as part of a nationwide plan to free up numbers starting 00 for other purposes.

The 0572 code eventually became 01572, following a renumbering programme that took place across the UK during April 1995.
