cheers guys! thats a great idea yinyang, im heading into th city today with my gf and ill see what they can do there, if they say no ill call the online apple people
and yeah we in australia have area codes, but generally we dont need to use them unless your calling to a place thats maybe like an hour or 2 hour drive away. peronally ive never had to use one

so realistically it'll be an 8 digit number..mobiles are 10 digits and generally numbers like company's or something are less (e.g apple's online store) coz they're so big etc...other company's have 1800 at the start which is toll free but i think im getting a little ofc course from your question :P hehehe
