How do I text from NY to Australia?

Question

I have the number and all that but I can't make + symbols with my phone, or any phone for that matter and I want to text someone. Or, if you could tell how to text from AUS to NY that'd be good too. Thanks.

Answer 1

You should be able to call or text Oz by making the number 011 (for international) 61 (for oz) and the number.

eg 011618 81291812

You should be able to call or text direct that way.

To call NY from Oz

0011 + 1 +Area Code+ Tel #

Answer 2

First answer is correct, except you have to drop the 0 in front of the area code or cell number

011 61 4** *** *** for an Aussie cell phone.

Answer 3

the first 2 answers are correct but if you want to do the + symbol you have to keep you finger on the # or * button sometimes it is the no. 1 button as well and the + symbol should come up and if you have that you will need to get rid of the  infornt of the number and dial +61
