From today (1/2/11) Australia's Numbering Plan has changed to allow geographic numbers - such as those with 02, 03 or 08 area codes - to be issued to outbound VoIP services.
An ACMA spokesperson has highlighted untimed local calls, which may be charged as if the customer was located within the charging district for their geographic number, no matter their physical location. VoIP customers who had been issued geographic numbers may also have difficulty when moving the number to another network service provider, the ACMA has warned.
Customers who did not wish to be tied to a geographic number could be issued "nomadic" numbers beginning with 0550. For more information on these changes you can go here:
