The code for Aus is +61. Got a friend there and text him occasionally.

Will cost more than normal UK text though

thanks. how do i do it. is it 0 61 then drop the 0 from the mobile number?

you're better off getting something along the lines of Vyke or SMSbug which is a small application downloaded on your phone ("google" those words for details). It is a dead cheap way of texting Oz.

Alternatively, are you signed up to 18185 or something similar. If so, you can text from your PC to your friend's mobile for about 1p I think.

thanks, its just a one off pic i need to send, not sure how i put in the code 061 and drop 0?

You have to have the + symbol.

So put in +61 then the phone number but drop the first 0.

so if their number was 0123456789 you would put in +61123456789
