Miss Simmons, whose recorded voice as the “Speaking Clock” announced the time on the BT service from 1963 until 1985, died at the Royal London Hospital in East London.
BT chairman Sir Christopher Bland also expressed his condolences, saying: "Pat's voice was one of the most recognisable in Britain."
Sir Christopher said: "We were extremely saddened to hear that Pat Simmons had passed away, and our condolences go to her family and former colleagues at BT.
"She won an army of fans and was trusted by the millions of people who regularly called the speaking clock to find out the time."
Sorry, couldn't resist this one.
