Geographic numbers use area codes or dialling code to indicate to the caller where the number is based. Think about the area code in your area. It probably starts with 01 or 02 in the UK. London for example is 0207 and then the number of the individual person or company follows. The prefix or dialling code for the are code implies that the person that you are calling is based in that specific physical area of the UK.
