Phoning the UK from Australia:
00 11 44 + STD code (without the zero) + telephone number
The major mobile phone companies in Australia (Telstra, Vodafone, Optus and Virgin) offer both pay as you go and pay monthly contracts. Many allow you to use your existing mobile phone and just buy an Australian SIM card.
Local, long-distance and international calls can be made from public payphones: some accept credit cards and phonecards. If you want to make cheap international calls, there is a large variety of prepaid phonecards and it is worth shopping around. |
