Operator .   Hello . I'd like to make a call to Australia .   You can call direct if you like .   Oh , can I ?   Yes , please .   Could you please tell me the international prefix and the country code for Australia ?   Yes , the code for Australia is 61 and then dial the city code and the number . Start with the international code which is 00 .   What time do the special rates apply ?   Between six in the evening and eight in the morning , sir .   I wonder if I can charge this call to my hotel room .
