Australian geographic telephone numbers issued by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (“ACMA”). They are the same numbers

 

as you would receive on a regular phone service provided by Telstra, Optus, AAPT or another telecommunications provider. They are State based and start with 02, 03, 07 or 08. Your rights and obligations are regulated by the ACMA. This includes the ability to port your number between different carriers. UPTI can provide local numbers in most areas. To receive a local number, you must provide a residential or business address in that local area where the telephone service is connected. Your local number can be listed in Sensis, plus the white and yellow pages. Numbers from the UPTI incoming Direct In Dial (“DID”) service – UPTI DIDs are direct in dial numbers owned by UPTI which are connected directly into our private branch exchanges (PBX’s) in various cities around Australia. UPTI’s incoming DID service gives you exclusive use of one or more of these numbers, so that any calls to the number will be automatically directed to your UPTI phone. You can further divert this call to any other fixed or mobile phone. UPTI DIDs are available in Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth and the Gold Coast. The benefit of having a DID is that callers in those cities will only pay a local call to access the DID number and the call will be directed to your UPTI ACMA phone anywhere in Australia or overseas. You can have as many DIDs directed to your service as you like, from as many cities as you like. These can be additional to any Local number and/or 0550 number you may have already connected to your service. UPTI DIDs are not listed in Sensis or the white or yellow pages. A DID number cannot be sent as your caller ID. The caller ID of the caller will be sent to your UPTI phone unless it has been withheld. UPTI DIDs always remain the property of UPTI and the use of these DIDs is a service offered by UPTI. You cannot port a UPTI DID to another provider.
