Telephone Addresses (Telegrams).

HC Deb 31 January 1913 vol 47 c1671W

Mr. PIKE PEASE

asked the Postmaster-General whether telephone numbers may now be used for telegraphic addresses?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

Telegrams intended for delivery by telephone can now be addressed to telephonic addresses. The arrangement, as well as the mode, of address, is described at page 111 of the current issue of the Post Office Guide. A telephonic address consists of the names of the subscriber and his Exchange, the number of his line, and the name of the town, except where the name of the Exchange is also the name of the town or of some well-known locality which is a sufficient address for ordinary telegrams.
