When is it necessary to use the 01455 Hinckley dialling code?

The Beginning of the 01455 Area Code
Prior to the PhONEday event in April 1995, the area code was 0455 and the historic mnemonic code was HK5, with the first two characters taken from the letters H and K in HincKley. On an old rotary dial telephone, this code would have been entered by dialling the numbers 4, 5, and 5.
