Notwithstanding the ravages of MNP, can anyone point me to an up-to-date list of
the various 04xx mobile prefixes and their network of birth?

Hint:  The ACA website's claim "The Register of Allocated Numbers at
www.aca.gov.au/pls/numb/ provides a list of digital mobile number prefixes and
the carriage service providers to whom they have been allocated."   is a crock.

Dont believe that there is one apart from the ACA site.
http://www.ianp.net/mobnum.htm is clearly out of date.

Nope, just a lousy user interface. Just put 040 and
049 in the top two range boxes and you'll see them all.

No need. Try it and you'll find that makes no difference to the results you get.

Indeed it is.

I tried o400 and 0439 and (maybe a mistake) selected Optarse lower down.  All i
got was 0423 range.

Will go try that #@$%^ interface again.

That's where you stuffed up due to the lousy user interface.

Yeah, its a piece of sh.t.

Seems so.

Not joking.  It still shows ranges such as 0400 being One.Tel - is it also
chronically out of date, or is this range still paid up and held in their name?

Also, does anyone know the (significance of) the difference between:
. Singtel Optus Ltd
. Optus Networks P/L
. Optus Mobile P/L

and (finally) which of these is the "range-holder" of their CDMA resale
operations?

It shows the original owner of the prefixes.

There used to be a spreadsheet showing "permanently transferred numbers" and
the 0400 was in there, marked as permanently xfer'ed from OneTel to Telstra

> Also, does anyone know the (significance of) the difference between:

They are all Optus. Just depends which sub-company of Optus was allocated
the range in the first instance

Telstra are allocated CDMA numbers. Most CDMA resale, if not all, resells
Telstra CDMA
Orange have CDMA but I dont know of anyone reselling it

Appreciate that.  The question is really ...

When Optarse - reselling Tel$tra CDMA - allocate a number for a "new sub", which
range(s) will it be selected from?

>Orange have CDMA but I dont know of anyone reselling it

Orange don't even sell to ppl outside Sydbourne, so that's pretty academic.

Thats between Telstra and Optarse basically,
just like it is with the slut and Optarse.

>> Orange have CDMA but I dont know of anyone reselling it

Sure, but there are other resellers of Telstra
CDMA and they dont show up in either table.

All ranges available to them. Just comes from Telstras GENeral number pool

They sell to Melbourne, Geelong, Newcastle, Woolongong etc ect

Nope. Thats just a list of the original allocation.

At the bottom of that form it says
'You can also check the register of numbers which have been
permanently transferred (file provided in MS Excel format - 60 kb)'

That shows the 0400 range having been permanently transferred to Telstra.

> or is this range still paid up and held in their name?

Nope.

None, thats just the variations in what they have called themselves.
Most of those are shown in the spreadsheet too.

Resellers dont get listed there. There is no
entry for the slut or Southern Cross for example.

Its rather interesting in regards to the permanently transferred numbers
spreadsheet.
At one stage it used to show the permanent transfer of numbers from Optus to
Virgin, Optus to Dingo Blue, Optus to RSL.Com, but its now changed and all
it does is show the shuffling of numbers b/w the various optus entities
Michael - 07 Mar 2004 10:34 GMT
Always works ok for me
I have a spreadsheet of the prefixes anyway (compiled from ACA site)

Its absolutely perfect. It shows where all numbers originate from (network
of birth).

Yeah, right, sure ....  (muses - bloody good thing Ellis doesn't design web

Wasn't able to get more than one 04xx set on any masking I tried.

put the From prefix as 040. and the To prefix as 049. That's it.

Worked for the rest of us.

In previous post you admitted your errors.
Ive never had any difficulty getting every single number range out that I
wanted

I was after only Optarse range.  A half-decent interface would accept
0400/0439/select_owner and give coherent results.

Bully for you.

My only error was in assuming the interface was able to accept user selections
and process the request sensibly.  Silly me.

>Ive never had any difficulty getting every single number range out that I

Even more bully for you.

That does work fine as long as you notice that there are
3 separate entrys for Optarse in the Organisation field.

It does.
Put in 040 - 049, select whichever Optus entity you want results on (SingTel
/ Opt Mob or Opt Net)
and out come your results

Blame Optus, not yourself.
They chose to f*ck about by having three diff parts of their entity owning
the numbers
