Both are true.  A local call can be made with both the area code included
or excluded.  There was also a story going around many years ago, which may
or may not be true, that if one included the area code for local calls, it
would go through the long distance amplifiers and you'd get a better
connect, but still only be charged a local call.. true or not, there's
little reason for an Oz node to configure local numbers differently from
domestic numbers.

Realistically, the only way an Oz node will dial 000 is if no international
prefix was configured.
