I am trying to call to a mobile phone in Sydney NW Australia from the US, please advise?

Question

The mobile number starts with 04, is the number too long,

as I understand the Country code is 61 and the Area Code 2

for Sydney, the mobile number is 10-digits? starting with 04-2299-XXXX Please advise to place the call correct.

Answer 1

Don't type the area code (that's for landlines).

Instead replace the 0 at the start with 61.

For example, my own number: 0402 x*x x*x (10 digits) will become 61402 x*x x*x (11 digits)

Hope that helps

Answer 2

You need to dial 011 for International (from the USA), then 61 for Australia, then the mobile number without the first 0.

So, it's 0116142299xxxx
