ok ( after consulting google)
uk is different, hence the confusion
there is no way to examine a uk mobile number and deduce a city or county...
"
In the UK, mobile phones have a trunk prefix of 0 (zero) followed by 10 digits. The area code is the first four digits after the 0.
So if the mobile number is 0 7890 123 456, the area code is 7890. However, most people would not consider this to be an area code because it does not point to a particular patch of land to which mobile phone “belongs”. It’s basically just part of the number."
so this approach would not work in UK
and pretenting I'm from toronto is not going to fly
