Calling my wife whilst both in australia/new zealand

What codes, if any, do I need to call my wife's mobile when we're both in Australia / New Zealand?

Hi @paulbarrie

Welcome to the community.

If both of your numbers are UK numbers, you should be able to dial as normal. If you need to use a prefix, it's +44.

Ensure that international roaming is enabled on both your phones by texting ROAMING to 150 before leaving the UK. If this is not done, this will prevent you connecting to any foreign networks.

When you are calling each other, you are calling a UK number and you "should" be able to just dial as normal. If this fails, then just drop the leading 0 and replace with +44

When one phone calls the other, the call is routed to the UK first, and then back again as an incoming roaming call.

Thanks very much for the advice. I'm an old git who doesn't understand all this stuff.
