Sydney locals calls - quick question
Have landed in sydney today! - Hurray!!!
We are in serviced apartments where the charge is 80c for a local call of unlimited length. The ISP I am dialing up from implies it's a local call but the number is 8207 7000 and I thought all sydney numbers began with a 9?
Will this be a local call charge or am I running up a huge bill??

From that moment on I realised never ever put the State code (02 or 07 etc) in the number set up.
I just looked up the acay network site and saw this warning: "Before using these access numbers, please dial 1300 362 162 and ask if the number is local from your dialling area. If the access number is not local, think twice because we will not pay long distance or toll charges, even if the numbers appear to be local"
although it does specify Local call access from:
Sydney Metro area 02 8207 7000
You are in the "Sydney Metro" area ?
