Australia disposabe new number
You're referring to the new Australian phone number format!
As of October 2021, Australia has introduced a new phone number format, which replaces the old 10-digit format with a 13-digit format. The new format is designed to make it easier for Australians to contact government agencies, businesses, and other organizations.
Here's a breakdown of the new format:
- The first 4 digits (prefix) remain the same as before, indicating the type of service or organization (e.g., 13 for government agencies, 1300 for toll-free numbers, etc.).
- The next 3 digits (middle) are a unique identifier for the organization or service.
- The final 6 digits (suffix) are a unique identifier for the specific service or department within the organization.
Examples of the new format include:
- 13 23 24 (Australian Taxation Office)
- 1300 555 555 (Toll-free number for a business)
- 1800 555 555 (Toll-free number for a government agency)
The old 10-digit format is still valid for a limited time, but it's recommended to update your phone numbers and systems to the new 13-digit format to ensure compatibility and avoid any potential issues.
I hope that helps!
