When moving into a new property, you might need to check if theres an active phone line. A simple way to do this is by plugging a phone into the wall socket and listening for a dial tone. If you hear one, the line is active. However, if you're unsure of the phone number, and before contacting the previous tenant, try the following:

For a Telstra line, dial 127 22 123.
For an Optus line, dial 127 23 12.

If these methods don't work, your next step is to reach out to a service provider for assistance. On the other hand, if you're looking to connect to the nbn™ (FTTP, Fixed Wireless, HFC), youll be glad to know that an active phone line isnt required. Feel free to contact our team for further details!
