Scanning Australia
by Comhack International
Never before has a total free phone carrier scan been done on an entire continent.
Well, I've done one... and now it's Australia's turn! Bite me, Telstra!
I have in the past compiled the largest scans of our 0014-800-XXX-XXX numbers; this was in 1990.
Since then we have had radical changes to the Australian telephone system and to the Australian hacking/phreaking scene. The lack of good information in the Australian H/P scene prompted me to generate this list with a carrier scan of all free phone lines.
With the introduction of 1-800 replacing 008 many new carriers are emerging. What follows are the numbers found by scanning the following sequences:
0014-800-124-XXX 0014-800-125-XXX 0014-800-126-XXX 0014-800-127-XXX 008-XXX-XXX 1-800-XXX-XXXAll of the above are free for anyone to call (except for mobiles) within Australia. All numbers were scanned at 2400 baud.
I hope to release a complete scan of PABX/tones/VMBs very soon so keep a look out!
