London Scan, November 7th 2009.
Same drill as last time except I concentrated souly on London ranges. London is covered by 3 area codes 0207, 0208 and 0203 0207 is mainly inner London including the City of London and Canary Wharf (the main financial areas of London).
0208 is outter London, nothing too interesting here a few interesting things can be found with the right amount of research.
0203 is London overspill, because London is heavily populated they were running out of numbers so they created an overspill range, one of these 0203 ranges is actually owned by Skype (0203 032 XXXX).
Remember if dialling in internationally our dialling code is +44 so from the USA you need 011 44207 XXX XXXX and so on. Again as I said in my previous scan memorable combinations often lead to the best results as people will want a number that is easily remembered and easily dialled for whatever reason.
I hope you enjoy this scan, any questions or comments come onto xsbb.antilimit.net and ask us or even come to irc, irc.darkscience.ws #netxs and feel free to ask us.
