Dialing a Landline into Australia

[YourCountriesExitCode]+[Australia'sEntryCode]+[AreaCode]+[LandlineNumber]

0061-Area Code-XXXX XXXX

Calling Australia from the United States explained:

  • 011 - US exit code (must be dialed first for all international calls made from the USA or Canada)
  • 61 - country code for Australia
  • area code - 1 digit area codes
  • phone number - 8 digits
  • EXAMPLE: US to Australia international dialing format:
    011 + 61 + x + xxxx xxxx<

Australia has 0011 as the exit code for voice calls and 0014 for fax transmission.

An easier way to dial mobile phones is to simply use the + prefix. Dialing your number as +61-4XX-XXX-XXX will automatically dial the exit code followed by country code and phone number...similar for landline calls (+61-Area Code-XXXX XXXX)
