What is the code for ringing the UK from Australia?

Answer 1

The telephone country code for Australia is +61. To dial it from a landline phone, substitute your own international dialing prefix for the plus symbol. Note that you must also drop the leading 0 from the Australian telephone number. For example, Sydney's area code 02 becomes +61 2.

(The plus sign means "insert your international access prefix here." From a GSM mobile phone, you can enter the number in full international format, starting with the plus sign. The most common prefix is 00, but North America (USA, Canada, etc.) uses 011, Japan uses 010, Australia uses 0011, and many other countries use different prefixes.)

Answer 2

Dial Australia's international access code, 0011, followed by the country code for the UK, 44. Then dial the UK domestic number, leaving out the leading zero.

For example:

• 01632 964019 becomes 0011 44 1632 964019
• 020 79460018 becomes 0011 44 20 79460018

00 61
Dial the International Access Code (0011 from Australia, something else - often 00 - from most other places, and 011 from the US).

Dial the UK Country Code (44).

Dial the UK Area Code (WITHOUT the initial zero)

Dial the UK Local Number.
