When is it necessary to use the 01227 Canterbury dialling code?
When calling from a mobile or landline outside of the 01227 Canterbury area code, you must use the dialling code. However, if you are calling a local number within the same area code using a landline, the 01227 dialling code is not needed.

The Beginning of the 01227 Area Code
Prior to the PhONEday event in April 1995, the area code was 0227 and the historic mnemonic code was CA7, with the first two characters taken from the letters C and A in CAnterbury. On an old rotary dial telephone, this code would have been entered by dialling the numbers 2, 2, and 7.
