Country codes Australians call most

In short

The country codes Australians call most include India +91, China +86, Vietnam +84, the Philippines +63, the UK +44 and New Zealand +64. From a normal phone you dial 0011 then the code, but with Intercalling you just type the plus sign and the number in your browser. The first call is free.

A quick reference list of the most dialled codes

These are the country codes that come up again and again for Australian callers. India is +91, China is +86, Vietnam is +84, the Philippines is +63, the United Kingdom is +44, and New Zealand is +64. Each reflects a large community in Australia or close family and business ties.

From a regular Australian phone you would dial 0011, then the code, then the number. With Intercalling you skip the exit code and simply type the plus sign, the country code and the number with its leading zero dropped.

How to dial each one

For India, dial +91 then the ten digit number. For China, dial +86 then the number, dropping the leading zero on landline city codes. For Vietnam, dial +84 then the number with its leading zero removed. For the Philippines, dial +63 then the number, again without the leading zero.

For the UK, dial +44 then the number with its leading zero dropped, for example +44 7700 for a mobile. For New Zealand, dial +64 then the number minus the leading zero. The same pattern applies everywhere, swap the local zero for the country code.

What calls cost and how to start

Rates vary by country and by whether you reach a mobile or a landline. A UK landline runs about $0.0514 a minute, an Indian mobile about $0.153, a Vietnamese number about $0.54 and a Chinese mobile about $1.03. Intercalling bills by the minute with a small $0.004 connection fee.

Open Intercalling in your browser, allow the microphone and type the number. The first call is free with no card, and the credit you add never expires. The person you call needs no app and no account, they just pick up their normal phone.

Note that the USA and Canada share +1 and split by area code after it, while every other country on this list has its own code. New Zealand on +64 is the closest of them, so a call there usually lands fine at any hour, whereas the others reward a quick glance at the time difference first.

The exit code and why the browser skips it

On a normal Australian phone, every international call begins with the exit code 0011, which tells the network the call is leaving the country. After that comes the country code and the number, with the local leading zero removed. The plus sign does the same job as 0011 and is the natural choice on a mobile.

In a browser dialler the plus is built in, so you never type 0011 at all. You enter the plus sign, the country code and the number, and the call is placed. Saving your contacts in this plus format is a good habit, since the same number then works whether you dial it from Australia or while travelling abroad.

Why these countries top the list

The codes above mirror Australia's biggest migrant and trade connections. India, China, Vietnam and the Philippines all have large communities here, so family calls home are common. The UK reflects long standing ties and a big expat population, while New Zealand is the closest neighbour with constant back and forth.

Time differences shape when people call. India, China and Vietnam sit several hours behind eastern Australia, so an Australian evening catches their afternoon, while the UK is many hours behind, making an early Australian morning a good window. New Zealand is just ahead, so a call any time of day usually lands fine.

Costs vary with the destination too. A New Zealand or UK call sits at the cheaper end, India and Vietnam in the middle, and China toward the higher end. Whatever the country, you see the per minute rate before you dial, so there is never a surprise once the call connects.
