    Drop the first digit in the Oz number and replace with +61...

    If it is an Australian number, it should start with 0061. No code need go in front of that.

    00 gets you the international line and 61 is Australia.

    If she just has the australian mobile number then it wouldnt have 0061 in front of it already.

    I was making the distinction between an Australian and an Irish mobile.

    Read the thread, she never said she had just the Oz number.. She said in the OP that it was 11 digits long.
    An Oz mobile number alone is 10 digits long, eg 044 123 4567
    The international version is 11, eg 6144 123 4567

    So she just needed to add a + or 00 to text.
