[AusNOG] Phone Numbers in Australia

Previous thread about fake caller ID made me think about what phone numbers mean in the Australian context. Historically we’ve had numbers that are geo based for landlines (02, 03, 08 etc) and other numbers that delineate the cost to call (eg. 04 for mobile, 13/18 for fixed cost non-geo or

FYI: Telstra and Optus do NOT allow WIFI calling while overseas. Which sucks. I have US sim that does and it works fine so it’s a business not technical decision. WIFI calling is such a tiny amount of data compared to almost all other uses it seems dumb to think about blocking it.

Have to remember some BGP basics: 1) longest prefix (eg. /24 in your case) will always win. 2) localpref will always win when comparing identical prefixes. 3) A network will always use localpref to prefer directly connected customer routes. 4) ASPath length is not going to overcome the above.
