Hey lad i think orange network has he same no at the begining duno bout vodafone. ring them and find out:

customer services:
Pay monthly: 08700 700 191

they normally have set prefixes for networks but i dont know which ones are voda fone

Mine and my BF's both start with 077 and we're both on o2... No idea about Vodaphone though, sorry!

im on 02 mine starts 077 as well

Don't reply if you have no idea!

There are no set number prefixes for networks anymore, not for a few years since they started porting numbers i.e. take your number with you between networks.

All mobile numbers begin 07, no matter what network, and more specifically OFCOM say that 077, 078 and 079 prefixes only are mobiles.

So in short, the answer to your question is you can't tell from the number.

I hate this, took me several attempts to make sense of it, sorry.

ok doky.. thought id ask :) thanks anyways

It's true that people can port their numbers to different networks, but I assume new numbers still follow the assigned blocks? I'm not sure about you, but most of my friends just keep a network and number rather than hopping around every year... (I changed mine recently, but maybe I'm an exception :))

Here's one site (http://www.ukphoneinfo.com) for finding where a number may well be assigned to (very useful for checking what area a national landline number is from too).
