Making and receiving calls
How to make a call
To make an international call from your Australian mobile phone, dial 00 (0r +) followed by the country code (1 for the US), area code and phone number.
How family and friends call you
Family and friends need to dial the international prefix, the country code 61 and your mobile phone number, omitting the leading 0 (zero)
For example, when calling from Australia, callers just need to dial 011 61 and then
your mobile phone number.
