What is the country code for London when calling from Australia?

Answer 1

The format for dialing is: your country's exit code + country code you are calling to + city/area code + local number.

The country code for the UK is 44.

The city code for London is 020, but you must drop the first zero when calling from overseas.

The exit code for Australia is 0011.

So, you would dial:

0011 + 44 + 20 + the eight digit number of whoever you are calling.

If you have been given a full 11 digit UK phone number, just remove the first zero and prefix with 0011 44. For example, mobile phone 07123 456789 becomes 0011 44 7123 456789.

Answer 2

The country code for Australia is +61. The plus sign means "insert your international access prefix here"; from London, as from most of Europe, that would be '00'. You also must drop the leading '0' from the Australian area code.

Thus, to call to Sydney from London, you would dial 00 61 2 xxxx xxxx.
