01258

01258 is a UK Telephone numbering plan code assigned to a geographic region in the United Kingdom. It is used for landline and other types of non-mobile phones within that area. The code is part of the larger British Telecommunications number plan, which is a collection of unique prefixes for specific geographic areas.

The 01258 region is located in the county of Dorset, England. This area's unique prefix is a result of a system created to identify specific geographic areas and regions of the UK. The '01' prefix indicates that calls to this area are made to a landline, as opposed to a mobile phone. The final three digits, 258, vary between locations within this region and can be specific to individual exchanges or service providers.

Utilization of the 01258 code in local businesses and for public services allows them to redirect local calls from within the designated geographic area. The system ensures prompt and efficient call routing to the intended recipient, often facilitating easier and more manageable phone communication within the region. It operates on a standard PSTN system, which may still be used in conjunction with VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) applications, providing a combination of traditional and more modern telephone services.

Maintenance and modification to phone number assignments and infrastructure are essential to maintaining regional phone services' reliability and stability. Area service providers and associated organizations can modify local number allocations according to regional development and needed expansions.
