Tips for Australia numbers

Why use an Australia number for Instagram?
Instagram is one of the most used apps in Australia, alongside WhatsApp and Facebook. A local +61 number makes creator and shop accounts aimed at local followers look native rather than foreign.
International students: Students heading to universities in Sydney, Melbourne or Brisbane use a +61 number for enrolment, rentals and part-time job sign-ups.
Instagram often asks new accounts to confirm the phone number again after a few days of activity.
