How do you call an Australian mobile from an English one in France?

Answer 1

The easiest way to make international calls from a mobile is to store the number in full international format. In this case, start with the country code for Australia, +61 (including the plus sign), followed by the Australian number, omitting the leading 0. Then the mobile network will automatically substitute the correct prefix, whether you are in England, France, Australia, Venezuela, or Vietnam.

If you are dialing from a landline, or if your mobile does not support storing numbers in international format, replace the plus sign with the international access prefix applicable to the place from which you are placing the call. The most common prefix is 00, but other prefixes are used in many countries around the world.

Answer 2

The most reliable way to dial any telephone number on most mobile phones (all GSM mobiles, and most others) is to enter the telephone number in full international format, beginning with the plus symbol and the correct telephone country code (one, two, or three digits, never beginning with zero). The telephone country code for France is +33, and you must drop the trunk prefix 0 from the beginning of the French domestic telephone number. For example, Paris's area code 01 becomes +33 1.

Instructions for how to enter the plus symbol vary, depending on the make and model of your mobile phone handset.
