On your iphone (I assume you have one), press and hold the 0 and it gives you the +

I've lost track a little. Is my phone the most awesome phone on the planet or is it rejected as a sad waste of nostalgia. I think the switch is imminent.

There is always chaos around a plane trip. I've always cherished the time between going through security and deplaning at the destination. Wifi ruins that. I don't think I will use it next time I fly.

It doesn't help that the last two times I was racing to a death bed. I have a very strange view of long haul travel

Can I ask a dumb phone number question? If I wanted to call an Australian number from France, then given that the Australian dialling code is 61, is there an alternative to using 00 (international dialling code for France) followed by 61? Sometimes phone numbers in Australia (for international business customers, for example) are prefixed with +61, so do customers calling Australia from other countries still have to enter their international dialling code before the 61?

I've never used a mobile phone from outside Australia, as the last time I travelled overseas was 1997, hence my confusion. Any clarification appreciated.

Thanks,

So did you parents not keep this excellent guide book from Telecom Australia (later renamed Telstra) in a drawer in their living room for 26 or 27 years?

(I've dated it as '89 or '90 because Telecom Oz changed it's name in '95, and the list of countries in the back includes Myanmar - that name dates from '89, and the Arab Republic of Yemen - which became part of Yemen in '90)

Yes they possibly did. I'm old enough to have used phones with a rotating dial. Today it's so much simpler.

or indeed (virtually) any phone

I used to have to call the USA on a regular basis with a rotary dial phone. It could make your fingers rather sore.
