@static @bundyb That phone number isn’t triggering a dog in my head. Which is probably a good thing.

@bundyb @stilgherrian There were two numbers. Some regions used the 13 number, another used a longer one. I don't remember more details than that, other than encountering the variant TV ad at some point outside my home city.

@static @bundyb @stilgherrian I remember Brisbane had a local phone number (892-1111, then 3892-1111), but eventually they all changed to the 13-number

@jpm @bundyb @stilgherrian That was it! The Sydney number was 481-1111 and then 9481-1111 before they went to the 13 number!
