The India center opens first and calls are sent to that destination earlier in the day. As the time changes, expanded coverage would be offered by the call center in the UK. ...more on Wikipedia about "0845 number"

The Australian telephone numbering plan was reorganised by the Australian Communications Authority between 1996 and 1998. As in other countries, due to the increase in subscriber uptake of services such as extra telephone lines in homes, mobile phones and other services, the previous numbering plan was being stretched to its limit. It was decided to simplify the number of area codes and lengthen all subscriber numbers by one or two digits. This was done progressively to ensure as little inconvenience and/or confusion as possible. It was also to avoid number clashes, a situation where two subscribers in two completely different locations have technically the same telephone number if dialled in their entirety. ...more on Wikipedia about "Australian telephone numbering plan"

Distributed Universal Number Discovery (DUNDi) is a P2P protocol for providing services equivalent to those provided by ENUM. DUNDi has an advantage above ENUM in that is far more resilient, as it lacks a central point of failure. It is also easy to deploy in that there will likely not be a lot of political problem due to its lack of need for central control. Though DUNDi can be used to augment DNS, it is currently being developed with VOIP being the most immediate beneficially. This will allow, for example a number like 732 432 5432 to be mapped on either an IPv4 or IPv6 address. VOIP providers will benefit in that they will eliminate the need to use PSTN circuit to carry traffic between two VOIP customers. For example, a customer using Vonage would call a customer using FWD without ever needing a VOIP to PSTN gate way. ...more on Wikipedia about "Distributed Universal Number Discovery"

This applies to all area codes that end in double digits, such as 800, 877, 900, 700, and others not yet assigned. The state of Nevada requested that its new area code be "lucky" 777; this was denied by NANPA because it is an ERC, to be used only for special purposes like inward WATS -- they were granted 775, instead. Another such 'vanity' NPA code has now been assigned to the Titusville/Space Coast area of Florida: 321. ...more on Wikipedia about "Easily-recognizable code"
