Maybe you want to have a quick catch up with your mate who\u2019s on a holiday in Europe<\/a>. It might be that it\u2019s time for a long-overdue chat with one of your relatives overseas. Or maybe your partner is travelling for work and you want to check that everything is going okay.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whatever your reason, if you\u2019re going to have any chance of getting through to the foreign country, whether from a landline or mobile, you\u2019d better know how to make an international call from Australia. Unfortunately, this isn\u2019t the most intuitive thing to do. Truth be told, it\u2019s actually a bit of a process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why we\u2019ve taken the time to lay it all out for you. A simple, easy-to-follow \u2018how to\u2019 on making international calls from Australia. So follow along, and you\u2019ll be connected with your overseas mates in no time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Make an international call in 3 easy steps\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

It may not be the most obvious piece of know-how, but at least it\u2019s a simple one to pick up. Just be sure that your phone is free of any international restrictions before getting started.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Exit Code\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

To start, you\u2019re going to want to enter the Australian exit code: 0011. Otherwise, you can go ahead and dial \u2018+\u2019 by simply holding \u20180\u2019 on your Australian mobile.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Country Code\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Next, you can dial in the country code of the place you\u2019re trying to reach. Many countries tend to have a 3-digit code, but it does vary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Phone Number\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

Finally, you can enter the phone number you\u2019re wanting to call, including the area code (being sure to drop the \u20180\u2019 from the area code).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

International dialling example\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Say you wanted to pay a quick call to the New Zealand number 03 123 4567. You would enter:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

0011 + 64 (NZ Country Code) + 3 123 4567<\/strong><\/p>\n

= 0011 64 3 123 4567<\/strong><\/p>\n

OR\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

+64 3 123 4567<\/strong><\/p>\n
