To dial a landline in Australia, you will need to start with the area code;

VIC and TAS – 03

SA, WA and NT – 08
Followed by the eight digit number. When dialling a mobile simply dial starting with 04.
The first thing you need to do is contact Global Gossip Customer Care (1300 73 83 53) to get your account locked to prevent misuse. You can then go into any Global Gossip retail store and request a SIM swap and your details and credit will be transferred to your new SIM and you can keep your original mobile number. Charges may apply for this.
Your Global Gossip mobile will only work within Australia. However, you can continue using your Global Gossip card (included in your SIM pack at time of purchase) to make calls, on Global Gossip PCs and Wifi.
To send a text with Australia, enter the number starting with 04. For international texts, type + in front of the country code then the mobile number. For example, to send a text to the UK dial +44 followed by the mobile number without the first zero.
