In the days of local exchanges. We could connect to another phone on it 
by dialling 1234. As the system was modernised the local exchange became 
larger and to phone anyone in it you would dial 567 1237 and to dial 
outside your area 041 567 1234. The post office/BT has tried to keep 
this facility but with more sophisticated networks it is an overhead.
