Same with most companies that have a 1800 number. They usually say something
like "Call 1800 xxx xxx, or 02 xxxx xxxx in NSW". This is to reduce their • costs
for local callers. You can still use the 1800 number locally, it just eats • into
their bottom-line.

It is only a local call if you are in Sydney and not from NSW more generally.
I don't have a problem with them wanting Steak n Kidneysiders to make a local
call, but I think it's a bit rude to hide the 1800 number from the rest of
NSW.

I must admit I sometimes lookup Qld-but-not-Brisbane phone numbers under
different states to see if there are 1800 numbers or 13 numbers etc.
