In a recent Digest message, someone asked what the UK 0831 code was used for; according to the 'Mercury 2300 coverage and charges' leaflet that I received this week, 0831 is an additional code for the Racal Vodafon cellular network. Also, the prefix 0839 _is_ used - according to the same document it is 'Information Services', ie the same sort of thing as the 0898 prefix - similar to 976 (is that the right one?) but charged at 0.740 pence per minute less than 0898. Incidentally, the Sunday Correspondent magazine today carried the statistic that there are more than 700,000 cellular telephone operating in this country. I can't remember the exact number, but it's something around that. | Nigel Whitfield, | n.whitfield@cc.ic.ac.uk | | Community Radio Association. | poet@tardis.cs.ed.ac.uk | | Internet: n.whitfield%cc.ic.ac.uk@cunyvm.cuny.edu | | BITNET: n.whitfield%cc.ic.ac.uk@UKACRL | | UUCP: ...!cernvax!cc.imperial.ac.uk!n.whitfield * NOT via ukc * |
