I'd seriously suggest you don't. The incumbents in the UK have come up with
this as a "great idea", which then will make it much harder for ITSP
players to get real number allocations, and thus to offer anything
competing with geographic numbers. Oh, and, of course, this neatly allows
them to charge differently, and settle differently, for connections to
those numbers. If you must, use a non-geographic area code that the
incumbents have too much to lose if they want to frig with it.
