Re: 151 has gone
My latest bill which I got on Saturday shows contact numbers as 150 and 0800 052 2000.
With having several telephone service providers it makes sense to have a single short code for contacting the service provider so that you can pick up any phone and know what to dial. It would be far easier to have common numbers with every provider such as 100 for operator, 150 for customer services, 151 for faults, etc.
Emergency services numbers should have access via all the worldwide numbers such as 999, 112, 911, etc so that anyone finding a phone can guarantee being able to contact the emergency services.
Directory enquiries numbers are problematic nowadays with having to remember six digit numbers.They could have kept 192 which then prompted you to dial a three figure access code for your preferred service or 192 again for the service provided by the telecoms company you are calling from.
