The format of a standard UK mobile phone number is usually:
lInternational Form:+44 7XXXX XXX XXX
lLocal form:07XXXX XXX XXX
in,"07" is the unified start position of the British Mobile Pass signal segment, and the last three digits are the key - different first three digits represent the original allocation of different operators.
Common number segments for mainstream operators (reference version)
Please note that the following number isOriginal allocation, due to number portability andMVNO exists and cannot be 100% accurate, but it still has great reference value:
EE (formerly T-Mobile/Orange merge)
