A note on the files

For each code, two definitions of the area covered are given:

• Ofcom definition
  Official names as defined by telecoms regulator Ofcom. Names were determined following a 2003 consultation.
• Traditional BT definition
  Historic 'charging area' names previously used by BT. Generally less user-friendly as more obscure place names are referenced. The same name may be used for multiple area codes, reflecting how some area codes were grouped together for determining local call areas.
