on the PoTS equipment I'm familiar with (others can chime in and correct me if I'm wrong on a larger scale) the numbers are reversed
According to Wikipedia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_dialing#Pulse_rate_and_coding>:
In most switching systems one pulse is used for the digit 1, two pulses for 2, and so on, with ten pulses for the digit 0; this makes the code unary, excepting the digit 0. Exceptions to this are: Sweden (example dial), with one pulse for 0, two pulses for 1, and so on; *_and New Zealand with ten pulses for 0, nine pulses for 1, etc_*. Oslo, the capital city of Norway, used the New Zealand system, but the rest of the country did not. Systems that used this encoding of the ten digits in a sequence of up to ten pulses, are known as decadic dialing systems.
So you're in New Zealand :)
