Default Phoning an Aussie mobile from UK??

Do I?

start off 00-61 then the 10 digit number;

start off 00-61-3 (for Vic) and then the 10 digit number;

do I drop the zero and just hack in the last 9 numbers;

or something else?

I tried to ring my brother's mobile with all possible permutations I could think of and either got 'number not recognised', silence or a continuous whine!

Suggestions gratefully received!

Hi there

As per other reply it is 0061 then drop the first zero. If you are calling from a mobile suggest that you don't use the + sign but type in the 00. You could also try sending a text first. Sometimes they arrive and sometimes they don't.

Good luck

Sue

Thanks for the replies, the one permutation I didn't try! I'm calling from a landline so its 00-61 and the mobile number without the zero I'll try.
