Mount Magnet: landline numbers and carriers

The register lists 30 number blocks for it with about 17,900 allocated numbers, held by 16 carriers. A landline that calls you from one of these blocks was issued for the Mount Magnet area — though the line may since have been ported, and caller ID can be spoofed.
