One thing to bear in mind when phoning Australia is the time difference between the UK and the other side of the world. Australia is split into 3 different time zones. Western Australia uses Australian Western Standard Time (AWST), this is UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) + 8 hours, Daylight Saving Time is not observed in Western Australia. Western Australia is the largest of the Australian states and its capital is Perth.
Australian Central Standard Time covering South Australia and the Northern Territory is + 9.30 hours and +10.30 during daylight saving. South Australia is home to some of the most arid parts of the continent, its capital is Adelaide. The highest ever temperature in Australia was recorded in South Australia in 1960 with a temperature of 50.7 ⁰c. South Australia is very popular with Britons moving abroad and hence, will be one of those states where you will save huge amounts on making those cheap calls to Australia but keep an eye on what time it is!!
Finally Eastern Standard Time is UTC +10.00 hours, this covers Queensland, New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory, Victoria and Tasmania, all of these observe daylight saving time (UTC +11 hours) except for Queensland. For those states which observe Daylight Saving Time, this usually begins on the first Sunday in October and ends on the first Sunday in April. If you want to make a phone call to this Australian state check the dialling codes for the area, but don’t forget to prefix it with our call saver number to make sure you benefit from a cheap call.
Particularly, if you have family out in Australia make a note of the call saver number by the phone and check that all the family are aware of which number to use. Don’t pay over the odds and when you use our cheap rates to make those important phone calls to all of the different time zones in Australia, you needn’t worry about how much you are paying or how long you are staying on the phone because your mind can be at rest that you aren’t going to end up with a gigantic phone bill.
It might be Christmas time or a family birthday, inviting friends to a wedding or just an everyday chat to keep up to date with a friend, all these calls are important and none of them need to cost you over the odds. How often would you have the opportunity to see this person face to face? Picking up the phone is invaluable and helps maintain relationships and when it comes to cost, calling Australia can be as cheap as a call to your friend down the road who you may see every week.
