Prefix to mobile phone in Australia?

I want to send a text message to friends with an Australian mobile but their number doesn't work without a prefix.

Take it from an Aussie - all you need to do is dial 0061 then the mobile number (drop the 0 at the start of the number though)

Mobile Phone numbers (04)
Generally the following numbers apply for the following mobile companies:

04x1; 04x2; 04x3 Optus
04x4; 04x5; 04x6 Vodafone
04x7; 04x8; 04x9 Telstra
However mobile number portability means the number might have been moved. Also, this "rule of thumb" is also not accurate where x is 3 or greater. (eg. 0433 is Hutchinson ("Three Mobile"), 0434 is Optus). There are also many resellers, and many companies buy "air time" off other companies for roaming.

okay...if you want to send a text message to Oz you need to drop the "0" from the number and before it dial "international + country code + state code + the number less the "0" at the front...

country code is 61

for Queensland the state is 7, New South Wales is 2...you will have to check...

www.whitepages.com.au for the other codes....
