Calling from USA to Australia?

Question

What does one dial (besides 1 + area code + number) in order to call from USA to Australia (and vice versa)?

And is texting from an USA number to an Australian number the same as calling? Or do one has to mark special number/code/whatever to do that as well?

(It's both on cellphones)

Answer 1

To call or text an Australian cell phone from an American cell phone,

if the person's number was 0422 333 444 (without any area codes, because cell phones in Australia don't have area codes), you'd call [phone].

+61 being Australia's dialling code, and

04 being the normal starting digits of all cell phones in Australia, just like it's 07 in the UK.. not sure what it is in the USA

Answer 2

to call a cell phone in Australia from the US you dial...

international+country code+cell phone number without the zero...

so that would be 011 61 and then the cell phone without the 0 so usually your first number would be a 4...

hope this helps...as for texting...i have no idea!!!
