Dialling '1456' only applies to those areas that have already had their
ballot for default STD carrier, in areas serviced by Optus that have not 
had their ballot you dial 1  , i.e. in STD area 044
to make a local call to my BBS using Optus, who started service here the 
weekend after "That Bloody Sunday", you dial 1-044-729631. This gives you 
an UNTIMED local call that is itemised on your Optus bill.
