I'm not sure if this is the right place to start this thread - Does anyone know why there is no 03 area code? Like 01 all the way to 09 are accounted for except 03...

The 03 numbering range was originally used for calls to Britain, but this was discontinued in 1992, when the international access code changed from 16 to 00.

Before 1992: 030 xxx xxx xxx
After 1992: 00 44 xxx xxx xxx
