Actually, you can dial a local number with the area code.  In fact, on my VoIP
service, one _has_ to.

On a standard POTS line from here, I could dial 03 5432 1234 or 5432 1234 and
get the same result.  But on the VoIP service I have now, only the first
example will work.

FYI, my area code is 03, and numbers starting with 03-54 are local to this area
(at least within 100km).
