How to Dial Australia
Saving the number in contacts
Start with +61, then use the reviewed national significant number. Remove the leading domestic 0 before adding +61.
Calling from abroad
On a mobile, use the + form. If a network requires digits instead, replace + with that origin network's international prefix. Australia's own standard exit prefix for outbound calls is 0011.
Calling a Australia mobile
Remove the first 0 from 04XX, then add +61.

Exceptions and Routing Notes
Common Australia Formatting Mistakes
- Keeping 0 after +61.
- Using 0011 inside a saved international contact.
- Assuming every Australian external territory uses +61.
Number Portability and Carrier Data
Mobile number portability means a prefix may not identify the current carrier. Treat carrier data as a timestamped lookup result, not a permanent property of the number.
