13/1300 to standard phone number conversions

(may be old news for some of you)

This website is badass:

Basically, you enter a 13/1300 phone number and it'll tell you the actual standard phone number that redirects to. For eg:

iiNet support: 13 22 58
...is actually: 08 9214 2222 (in my area)

This matters to some Australian mobile/landline users - your calls to 13 numbers might not be included in caps/might be more expensive than regular numbers.

...which is pretty ridiculous really. You pay a hefty premium for the minor convenience of calling a particular number in your state. Ho hum.
Who do you think you are? If you'd stopped winning, you could have been the Biggest Loser, if you gave up, you could have been a Survivor, if you'd stopped reading Orwell, you could have been on Big Brother!
