What is the area code for mobile phones in Australia?

Answer 1

Most of the state of New South Wales is in area code 02, which is +61 2 in international format. However, the area around Broken Hill, NSW, is in area code 08 (or +61 8). The local number is always a further 8 digits.

(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

The dialing code is 61, but this code is also used for Christmas Island and Cocos Islands.

To call from the USA to Australia, dial:

011 = international dialing prefix from USA and Canada

61 = country code for Australia

Australian area code (without the leading '0' - e.g., for Sydney, dial '2' instead of '02')

local number (8 digits)

Answer 3

The telephone country code for Australia is +61. The area code for Queensland is 07, or +61 7 in international format. Note that there are a few towns in Australia, near a state border, that are in the area code of the neighbouring state.
Australia is country code +61, and Queensland's area code 07 becomes +61 7.

Answer 4

The telephone country code for Australia is +61, and you must drop the trunk prefix 0 from the domestic area code when putting the number into international format.

Area code 02 = +61 2 = New South Wales (Sydney) and ACT (Canberra);

Area code 03 = +61 3 = Victoria (Melbourne) and Tasmania;

Area code 07 = +61 7 = Queensland (Brisbane);

Area code 08 = +61 8 = S.A. (Adelaide), W.A. (Perth), and N.T. (Darwin, Alice Springs)

Note that the area code boundaries do not exactly match state lines. There are several places where a town near a state line is in the area code of the neighbouring state.

Answer 7

Australia has four telephone area codes:

• 02 (or +61 2) for New South Wales (Sydney) and ACT (Canberra)
• 03 (or +61 3) for Victoria (Melbourne) and Tasmania
• 07 (or +61 7) for Queensland (Brisbane)
• 08 (or +61 8) for South Australia (Adelaide), Western Australia (Perth), and Northern Territory (Darwin, Alice Springs)

Note that there are a few towns close to a state line that use the telephone area code of the adjoining state.

The local number is a further 8 digits in all cases. Mobile numbers begin with 04 (or +61 4), followed by 8 more digits.
