Who Called Me From a 0203 Number? London Capacity Overlay
A 0203 number is a London geographic landline. Ofcom opened the 0203 range in 2005 as the original 0207 / 0208 London ranges began to fill up. Functionally a 0203 number is identical to a 0207 / 0208 / 0204 number — same London 020 area code, same call cost.
