[aside]
My grandmother first had a phone installed in the thirties. Her number was {Area} nn, which became area nnnn, and then area nnnnnn. It's now 11 digits long. The number is still in use at the same address, although my grandmother departed (the address and world) a few years ago.

The original two digits remained (and remain) constant. The intial addtion was a '33'.

Is there a link for all the old dialling codes?
Anyone remember what these were for?
