Australian numbers on InstantSMS use the +61 country code. Australian mobile numbers domestically start with 04 (e.g. 0412 345 678); in international format, drop the leading 0, giving +61412345678. Australia's numbering pool tends to be smaller than the US or UK on most temporary number services, so availability can fluctuate - check this page for current active lines before relying on a specific one. These are genuine receive-only lines, useful for one-off sign-ups and testing where you want to avoid handing over a personal Australian mobile number.
