"Yes, I could certainly do that for you, but right now I'm calling Australia, see you Larry. Hi everyone, my name is Russ Handler, and did you know that dialing internationally out of the United States, you actually have to know four separate numbers. That's right, so how do you dial Australia? Pretty simple. Dialing Australia consists of four separate numbers. Zero one one gets you out of the country, then there is what's known as a country code, in this case Australia is six one, then a city code, let's say you want to dial Melbourne, that would be three nine, then of course the number. So, how do you dial Australia? Simple. Zero one one gets you out of the country, six one is the country code, let's say we're dialing Melbourne, the city code is thirty-nine, and then five five five six three two one for the number. Now, it's that simple, but there are a lot of numbers that you got to keep in mind, so make sure that you transcribe them well, and keep in mind that we could tell you that Australia has an excellent domestic and international submarine cabling system, as well as infrastructure for communications, and lots and lots, about fifty-four various satellites throughout the country that handle communications. It's that simple - I'm Russ Handler, have a great day."
