I notice there's been a few changes with the Test short codes on ITV lately.

On I'm a Celebrity, it's 63334 this year rather than the more catchy 87654

On Calendar they've recently changed from 'Text NEWS to 80088' to 'Text YORKS to 63332'. Which also happens to be the same number for texting CITV

Considering that you have to text 'Yorks', have all the regions changed to this number?

Well if you want to text Meridian News you have to send MERIDIANNEWS to 63330. So presumeably there is some sort of standardisation going on but it's a different end digit.

In London it remains "LONDON + message" to 80088

IIRC Central's the same, appart from the London bit, obvisouly.
