Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / Australian Group / May 2005Prefix for which Telco's?
I was just wondering which Telco's have which prefix? I know three has 0433, and thats it! And can someone shed light as to Virgin's? thanks.

Virgin dont exist as a carrier so they use Optuses See www.aca.gov.au >> I was just wondering which Telco's have which prefix? >> I know three has 0433, and thats it!

With number portability, there's no way for a casual caller to figure out a user's carrier just by looking at the first few digits of the number.

Otherwise you can only guess.  Signatureroma > >> I was just wondering which Telco's have which prefix? > >> I know three has 0433, and thats it!

He said nothing about MNP, he just asked "which Telco's have which prefix?" Why dont you just give the real answer, instead of going off on a tangent? >> >> I was just wondering which Telco's have which prefix? >> >> I know three has 0433, and thats it!

For all practical purposes the "Real answer" will not help anyone. The question was asked from a subscriber's point of view , i.e how can I tell what carrier a person is on by their number. The answer is nowadays, from a consumer point of view, you cannot. The reason? MNP... Keith >>> >> I was just wondering which Telco's have which prefix? >>> >> I know three has 0433, and thats it!

I think he might identify very closely with many of the offshore call centre people we come across these days, ie address EXACTLY the words that the customer utters, nothing more, without considering the context or the nuances... like a robot. > >> >> I was just wondering which Telco's have which prefix? > >> >> I know three has 0433, and thats it!
