The codes for this group were originally published as '0AL2 ALdershot', '0AL1 7 Yateley (ALdershot)', etc. (See this article re the change from alpha to numeric and the additionof a 1.)
0252 was for the Aldershot linked numbering scheme (LNS) which included Farnborough. 0251 was for Aldershot level 8, eg. when in Aldershot you were told to dial 87 for Yateley. It is believed that all the 0251 exchanges had become part of the LNS before phONE Day.
Areacode 905 (1-905) (with overlay Areacode 289) is a telephone dialing area for south central Ontario.
It surrounds Areacode 416/647 (the city of Toronto) and is bounded with Areacode 519 in the west, Areacode 705 in the north and Areacode 613 in the east.
A previous version of the +1-905 areacode was once used as a block of alternate numbers for calls from the United States to Mexico (+52-5-...) in the days when overseas calls otherwise would have needed to be placed through a telephone operator.
