The
international code to phone Australia is 61. If you need to phone
the Australian telephone number 02 1234 5678, for example, ignore
the first zero and dial +61 2 1234 5678
To
phone out of Australia dial 00 11 and then the country code (ie
00 11 44 for the UK)
The
basic national numbering system for Australian residential and commercial
phone calls comprises a two digit area code and an eight digit phone
number.
For
example (02) 1234 5678 where (02) is for New South Wales and 1234
5678 is the phone number. The codes generally differ for each state.
Free
phone calls look like 1800 *** *** but cost from mobiles.
Mobile
Numbers have a four digit code and a six digit number and usually
start with 04**.
You
will also see six digit number like 131 500 (Public
transport info line) These cost the same as a local call, except
from mobile.
There
are other types of numbers but you can work that out yourself
To
find a number go to White
Pages or the Yellow
Pages. It's a piece of cake from there.
