Calling Aussie mobiles from UK?
Hi guys,
Just arrived in the UK and I'd like to phone friends on their mobiles back in Oz but I'm a bit confused with the codes.
Back there I'd just dial a simple 10-digit number like as follows 0205 100 100. So what number would I have to dial from the UK?
As far as I can tell, I need to start off with 00 61 4, but I'm not sure on the rest. Can anyone help please?
Many thanks in advance

Hi Dejan11
My Aussie friends and family mobiles all start 04 followed by 8 digits. When I call or text them using my UK mobile I prefix their number with +61 and knock off the 0 (i.e. +614 not +6104) and this always seems to work. When I call using a landline I dial 0061 and knock off the 0 again (i.e. 00614 not 006104).
Just watch out for the bills! There are plenty of discount telecoms outfits around if you don't feel like subsidising BT

You may want to check-out "Telediscount" to save yourself a bit of cash, there are plenty of other options too.
