Entity boundary

Region vs. Telephone Area

The four geographic codes cover large regions and multiple cities, and 08 spans several time zones. Some providers permit out-of-area local-number porting, so a prefix is not conclusive proof of current physical location. Mobile, 13, 1300, 1800, IoT and special-service numbers are not geographic.

A code listed beside a city reflects a featured numbering association; it does not assert that every community in Australian Capital Territory uses that code or that the code stops at the administrative border.
