Not just the Australian approach, there are actually few that do mobile
numbers the way its done in north america. Virtually everywhere else
has a unique prefix for mobile numbers so its easy to see it's a mobile
number you are calling. And easy to see what can be texted too,
although its now possible to text/SMS landlines here now.
