help dialling a uk mobile currently in Sidney Australia from a uk landline .

[peridito]

Can anyone help ?

I'm using 00 61 followed by mobile nos minus the first 0 .

Have also tried 00 61 2 followed by mobile minus first 0 .

Don't you just dial the mobile number?

Try 0044 then the mobile without first 0

0044 ? At start

It’s still a UK number even though it’s abroad. You just dial it normally.

Isn't the code 61 for Australia? So you wouldn't need that when calling a UK number!

You don't need the international dialling code if you're calling a UK number from the UK even if it's elsewhere in the world.

If it's a uk number calling another uk number you just dial normally.

It doesn't matter where the phones are currently located.

You don't need the international dialling code if you're calling a UK number from the UK even if it's elsewhere in the world.

Wow adding this to my list of things that are much simpler than I knew and that I've overcomplicated !

You dial as if they are in the U.K.

You don't need to change what you dial because you don't always know where the phone is.

Fine if you're dialling a family member or friend, and they've told you where they're going, but if you don't know the movements of the person you're calling, they could be in the next room or anywhere in the world.

So you just dial the number as normal. and the magic of the telephony system sends the call to them.
