For local callers within the 2321 area, it is common to dial only the six-digit local number for intra-area calls, but using the full national format is always safe. For international callers, it is essential to omit the leading '0' of the trunk prefix when dialing from abroad. Additionally, be aware that some VoIP services may require a different format; however, standard PSTN and mobile calls follow the E.164 international standard.
