Anyone found an alternative number for student accommodation at Bath University?  Rooms in Solsbury Court are 0870 XXXX XXX.  Presumably same for other accommodation.

The number is 0870 754 xxxx and it is a dognbonezone phonecard.  Not sure if it is the same number for all of the campus.  As it is a dognbonezone card, does this mean I must dial 0870?

The poster has contacted me via a personal message to say that the number is 01225 36xxxx. I was waiting for her to confirm that the NGN is still 0870 754 xxxx before adding it to the database.

Both 0870 753 and 0870 754 prefixes are allocated to Your Communications and are dated 05/1996, so services operating on them could be upto 10 years old. I therefore assume that the number jrawle has posted is a big clue to finding the number for the John Wood Complex. 01225 36 is allocated to Telewest, dated 04/1995, so we can be pretty certain it's a Telewest number we're after.

Within Bath, the following prefixes were allocated to Telewest on 04/1995:

• 01225 34 04/1995
• 01225 35 04/1995
• 01225 36 04/1995
• 01225 37 04/1995
• 01225 38 04/1995
• 01225 39 04/1995

There is also 01225 40 which is dated 07/1994 which is the earliest date any numbers are shown at (including all BT ones that have been in existance since the year dot). Finally, 01225 14 dated 03/2001 is one which probably can't be dialled from a BT line, but I think that the date's too late.

I think that the number you're after is one of those listed above dated 04/1995. Hopefully we can get confirmation from jennyevans68 whether the last four digits are the last four of the internal extension number or the 0870. My money is on them being the internal number, so find out what your daughter's internal extension is and try the last four digits with 01225 36 and the other 04/1995 prefixes.

Hi Muffy,

I have sent jennyevans68 a private message to get some clarification as to how her number relates to 01225 36xxxx.

The last four digits you are trying; are they the last four digits of the internal extension number and not the last four of the 0870 number?

Ah, ok. I didn't realise that there was a different internal number; I just used the last 4 digits of the 0870 number. I will have to ask my daughter for that, but it may be a little while before I can try it. She has started with lectures all day today and she's already getting fed up of my phoning up. They prefer to have the feeling of independence once they are there, despite the fact that they have t be financially reliant on their parents now, with these arbitrary and iniquitous extra taxes the government has placed on education.
I will try the number when I can and post the result. Thanks to all who have helped, either way.

Muffy, before you sign off, can you clarify what the first few digits of your daughter's number are? I am assuming that similar numbers have the same prefix, so this will help others to find it.

Is the number 01225 37 + last four digits of the internal number?
And what is the internal number (with the last two digits **ed out)?

From what you said above the 0870 is 0870 7532XXX. So does this mean that the number is as follows (where the last two digits are the same)?:

0870 75326xx => 01225 3724xx
