Questions people ask
Which country has the code +61?
+61 is the dialling code for Australia.
Is +61 the same as 0061 or 011 61?
Yes. The plus sign stands for whatever exit code your phone network uses: 00 in the UK and most of the world, 011 in the US and Canada. A mobile phone converts + automatically, so saving numbers as +61 makes them work from any country.
How do I write a phone number from Australia in international format?

What is the exit code in Australia?
To call abroad from a landline in Australia, dial 0011, then the country code and number. On a mobile, + works everywhere.
I got a missed call from +61. Should I call back?
Only if you know someone there. Unexpected one-ring calls from abroad are a known scam ("wangiri"): calling back can connect you to a premium-rate line. Search the number first, or paste it into the callmins country-code lookup to see where it's from and whether it's a mobile or landline.
