Brisbane: landline numbers and carriers
Brisbane is one of the town-level numbering areas the ACMA register uses under area code 07 (QLD). The register lists 470 number blocks for it with about 6m allocated numbers, held by 27 carriers. A landline that calls you from one of these blocks was issued for the Brisbane area — though the line may since have been ported, and caller ID can be spoofed.

Worth knowing
