Where 0117 reaches.
0117 is the Bristol code, covering the city and its edges. Numbers look like 0117 496 0123.
- Bristol
- Kingswood
- Filton
- Keynsham
Bristol moved from 0272 to 0117 on PhONEday, 16 April 1995, one of five cities given a new 011x code with seven-digit local numbers.
Phone exchange areas don't follow council boundaries exactly, so a few places near the edges use a different code.
Example: A small design studio in Bristol
Four people, all working from home some of the week. The 0117 number rings everyone at once during working hours, and calls are optionally recorded so briefs taken over the phone aren't lost. Out of hours, a message points callers to email.
- Ring all at once
