Knowing which of those digits mark a mobile is what tells you what the call will cost before you place it. Country code +61 Area or operator prefix 2 Local number 12345678 Inside Australia, numbers are dialled with a leading 0. Drop it when calling from abroad โ€” keeping it is the single most common reason an international call fails. Mobile prefixes 4 Landline prefixes 2378 Prefix ranges still identify a line as mobile or fixed even where a number has been ported between operators, because the mobile and fixed blocks are separate and numbers do not move between them. Operator identification from a prefix, by contrast, stopped being reliable once portability arrived. ## When to call Australia What the clock reads in Australia when it is mid-morning, early afternoon and evening where you are.

The country code for Australia is +61. Dial this after the exit code (or use + on a mobile). What are the area codes for Australia? Australia has 8 city area codes listed on this page, including Sydney 2, Melbourne 3, Brisbane 7. Dial the country code first, then the area code without its trunk prefix, then the local number. The table above gives the full dial string for every city. What does a Australia phone number look like? A Australia number is written as +61 2 1234 5678: the country code +61 followed by 9 digits. That total is fixed by the national numbering plan, so a number with one digit missing is a typo rather than a shorter valid number. How can I tell if a Australia number is a mobile? By its leading digits. In Australia, a national number of 9 digits beginning with 4 is a mobile. That still works after a number has been ported between operators, because mobile and fixed-line blocks are separate ranges and numbers do not move between them. Do I need to drop the leading 0 when calling Australia? Yes. Australia uses 0 as a trunk prefix for domestic calls. When dialing internationally, drop the leading 0 from the local number. How much does it cost to call Australia? Telvio charges $0.23/min to Australia landlines and $0.23/min to mobiles.
