The old 1960's GPO Speaking Clock is still running on 01352 83 8081 and is charged as a normal 'geographic' number - free on many packages. 8081 was the code for the Speaking Clock in most areas outside London, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Glasgow and Edinburgh where its used to be 846 (or TIM on the old lettered dials)
123 is not available on Orange and one or two other mobile networks.

Dial

Dial
A clock face dial is typically opaque, meaning it does not allow light to pass through. However, some clock designs incorporate transparent materials, such as glass or acrylic, to cover the dial while allowing visibility of the clock's hands and markings. The choice between opaque and transparent materials depends on the clock's design and intended aesthetic.
Sony and Philips both make clock radios with an glow-in-the-dark analog dial.
The correct term is "DIAL".
