How Do I Dial Out Of Aus And Into Japan...?

[Lil_Bobby_260]

Hey guys

Im dealing with an import broker in Japan and he has given me a mobile number, but i have NO idea how to actually reach him on it.

Im calling from an Optus mobile in australia, to his japanese carrier mobile in japan.

Gimme some PREFIXES!!!!

Thanks josh - been told ive got to dial 0011 first to dial out of australia.

Nice stagea by the way - im trying to import an Autech 260RS, hence the need for the number!

cheers, i've only just got it a week ago. 260Rs sounds awesome, waiting for it to get here will be a killer though, lol.

and yeah from a land line you would have to dial 0011 81, but from the mobile +81 should be ok. i ring someone in the uk a bit and never use 0011, just +44.

I've also heard that you have to drop the first zero on the number, so if the mobile number you were given is 090 ........ then dial all the numbers you need to get out of Australia then 90 ..........

yep correct. same for almost all countries. ie, if calling australia from japan (or anywhere) it's the same story.

what about calling from a Japanese mobile to Australian mobile?

i'm heading to Japan soon using international roaming, and if my friends over there want to contact me, do they go +61 XXXX XXX XXX? was there somthing about dropping the zero (NDD Prefix)

I don't know about Aussie phones roaming, but from my Japanese mobile, it's 010 61 then drop the zero of the mobile number.

e.g.

010 61 412 345 678

They would dial (I'll use a random mob no.)+61418664854 Your international roaming will then redirect the call to your phone on whatever roaming network you are on. Please bear in mind that you will be paying for the call as well when receiving on international roming.

The zero is there to let the phone network know that there is no pre-trailing area or country code to be added (as in Aus we dial area codes 02, 03, 07 etc) but when dialling a land line from overseas the 0 in the area code gets dropped eg STD dialling code followed by, 61 then area code eg 2 then phone no. XXXXXXXX. 0011 in Aus is to be used when dialling internationally from a land line. The + symbol on a mobile phone does this automatically.

Hope this makes sense
