It also lets your prospects call you back on a number they recognise. Landline and mobile numbers follow very different rules. For a landline, the company’s address must be in Australia, and the application is one of the most complete on the list: a long-form ASIC extract, proof of address, ABN or ACN, a website and the authorised representative’s identity. For a +61 4 mobile number, the address can be anywhere in the world: a trade register extract from your own country and proof of address are enough. It is the simplest route for a company with no presence in Australia. ## Country code and number format - **Local (landline) **: +61 +61, then 9 digits: the state code without the 0 and an 8-digit number. 2 New South Wales and Canberra, 3 Victoria and Tasmania, 7 Queensland, 8 South Australia, Western Australia and Northern Territory. Example: +61 2 9123 4567. - **Mobile **: +61 +61 4, then 8 digits (04 nationally). Example: +61 412 345 678. ## What you need to know ### ABN and ACN The ACN (Australian Company Number, 9 digits) is issued by ASIC, the companies regulator, on registration. The ABN (Australian Business Number, 11 digits) is recorded in the Australian Business Register; for a company, it is often the ACN with 2 extra digits in front. ### The number’s charging district Every Australian landline number belongs to a charging district. If it differs from where you are based, your calls are billed as if they were made from that district, and the number may not be portable to another provider. ### Regulated calling hours The ACMA telemarketing standard applies to calls to all Australian numbers, whether or not they are on the Do Not Call Register: 9am to 8pm on weekdays, 9am to 5pm on Saturdays, never on Sundays or national public holidays, unless the person called agrees otherwise. ## Call prospects in Australia with a local number Skipcall assigns the local number and your teams call from the browser or the mobile app, with a number your prospects recognise.

For a mobile: a trade register extract and proof of address. **Can a foreign company get an Australian phone number?** Yes for a mobile: the address can be anywhere in the world, and your own country’s register extract is accepted. For a landline, you need an address in Australia and an ABN or ACN, so in practice a registered presence in Australia. **What is a long-form ASIC extract?** The Current Company Extract, or the Record of Registration, issued by ASIC. The long form shows the officers and the company’s address: that is the version requested. **What if the representative is not on the extract?** Attach a letter of authorisation from the company naming them. If they already appear on the ASIC extract or another register, that document is enough.
