I found the attached picture on Flickr dating from 1981 which shows the phone box on Herm, still Button A/B and taking 5p pieces! The instructions tell you that you could only dial other Herm numbers yourself, and Guernsey and everywhere else had to be obtained via the operator. However, this didn't necessarily mean that you couldn't dial Herm from Guernsey.

Therefore it is conceivable that the local code for Herm from Guernsey could have been 12 before Herm adopted Guernsey numbers, but we may never know for sure.
