Is There Any Way To Find Out What A Telephone Number From 1979 Is Now?
5 Answers
We would like to find out the new number from a number that we have from 1979. We know the address, but not the name. Is there any way to do this? Back then, the area code was only four digits, and the phone number five digits. Any ideas?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Most area codes inserted a 1 between the initial 0 and the rest of the 4 digits eg, 0734 became 01734. Later some codes eg Bristol, Sheffield, Reading changed completely to become 0117, 0118 etc.
For example, Reading number 0734 12345 became 01734 12345,then
01734 x12345 and eventually
0118 9x12345.
where "x" was an extra digit put in to increase the range of numbers (4 in our case).
I hope that gets you started on your search.
