Event: Number range outage in Melbourne
Regions Affected: Melbourne POP
Customers that have phone number on our 03 8624 8000 - 03 8624 8299 and 03 8624 2900 - 03 8624 2999 number ranges are currently receiving an "The number you have called is not connected" message.
There has been a major number portability issue where these number were originally

establish a new call they will receive the "The number you have called is not
connected" message.
