Many thanks for this info Alan. It prompted me to check if this service is available with Sky who provide my mobile service. I didn't need to speak to anyone, just navigated to the area where you can edit your number and, BINGO! The house number was accepted with the 07 prefix.
Of course, it was my second choice. I did try the 007 prefix first but it was not accepted as a valid number. Lol.
Edit: Tried calling my new 07 number and ... it wouldn't work. Although accepted by Sky when I changed to it the main network sees it as an invalid number. So back to the drawing board for me on this. My 07 number when combined with our house number only comprises of 9 digits, I suspect this is only part of the reason it fails as UK mobiles I believe have 11 digits.
