@SPTSuperSprinter156 correct on 16 April 1995 which was Easter Sunday. All phone numbers which began with a 0 then began with 01.

@SPTSuperSprinter156 I remember that day and the run up to it with 01 in the phone numbers. The First I heard was on an edition of Live and Kicking. When I noticed their phone number song.

When he mentions nearly every phone number in Britian has changed - this must have been when they added a '1' into some numbers - I thought they did that in the 80s!
