Here's two mobile phones that show how much nokia have moved on
Nokia Talkman 520
Nokia 101
Looking for a large mobile phone?
It's incorrect to refer to (020) 7 as Inner London and (020) 8 as Outer London because there is already a great deal of crossover.Johnny wrote:But this new one is very confusing. Why not have 020 3 & 7 for inner london & 020 4 & 8 for outer london.
Is that Nokia 101 picture to scale? It doesn't look all that bad really - if it were silver instead of charcoal it could be a modern phone.
No it's a really old phone form the early 90'sdvboy wrote:It's incorrect to refer to (020) 7 as Inner London and (020) 8 as Outer London because there is already a great deal of crossover.Johnny wrote:But this new one is very confusing.

also the 7200 wasn't the first Nokia flip mobile made(although may be in the UK) the first was the Nokia 282, although it was released in USA & Canada only by the looks of it see below:
Very symetrical!
I'm not sure if this was before the Star Tac however

It's not confusing at all - someone gives you their phone number and you tap it into your phone. It doesn't matter whether the first digit is a 8,7,3 or whatever, it's still the same process!Johnny wrote: But this new one is very confusing.

Incidently just to confuse the issue there are such things as 020 0xxx xxxx numbers. They aren't designed for public use (mainly as redirects from non geographic numbers), but because the local number starts with a 0 the whole thing including the 020 must be dialled

Sadly both BBC London News and London Tonight have continued to spread misinformation on this supposed 'code change'.
Yes saw it on BBC London News
020 is still the london code its just that there is an extra start code for the numbers 7,8 & now 3
