Calling Cards Digest

The best way to call up Australia from Europe, USA or any other location in the world is to use an international pre-paid phone card of a reputed company. Australia is a prominent nation in the southern hemisphere which is considered to be a country, an island as well as a continent at the same time. It is the only place in the world which holds the distinction of being the smallest continent as well as the largest island and its capital city is Canberra. Since Australia is one of the most important international destinations, several phone card companies have introduced cost saving prepaid phone cards which facilitate international calls at an extremely economical rate. In addition, these prepaid cards have a rechargeable PIN and can be acquired online easily as they are commonly available.

While making calls to Australia with a prepaid phone card, one must adhere to the following instructions in the order in which they are given:

• After having acquired the prepaid card, the first step is to dial the Access Number of the card.
• This is followed by a recorded message asking the caller to dial the PIN number which is given at the back of every card and revealed by scratching, or is given to you through an e-mail, if you bought your phone cards online.
• In the next step the caller is required to dial the international code, the country code which is 61 in case of Australia, the city code and the phone number in the same sequence.

Therefore, a person who wants to make a call to Melbourne through an international prepaid phone card should first dial 011 to indicate that it is an international call followed by 61 which is the country code for Australia followed by 39 which is the city code of Melbourne followed by the phone number of the person to whom the call is being made.
