That's one way of calling a local number.

Indeed. It translates 61-2-9727-7775 into 02-9727-7775. That will dial Scott
Little's system.

Widen your horizon. The world of automatic telephony is bigger than what is
covered by country code 1. In Europe and in Australia we can have a choice on
how to dial local numbers. We can either just dial the local number or we can
dial the ten digit sequence of the area code plus the local number. Area codes
are always dialled with a leading zero to distinguish them from local numbers.
There is no such thng as "LD wires" here. There is no penalty on calling a
local number with the full ten digit sequence, the cost is the same.

Calling Scott Little's system by dialling 02-9727-7775 works from within all of
Australia at no extra cost.

The example works.
