To Call Cambodia from Australia, Dial:

+855 [area_code] [local_number]

Example:

If someone gives you: 012 345 678

Dial: +855 12 345 678

Do not add a leading zero. Dial the number exactly as provided after the country code.

Cambodian phone numbers often start with a '0'. You must remove this leading '0' before dialling. For example, a local number like 012 345 678 becomes 12 345 678 when called internationally.


What Is the Cambodia Country Code?

The country code for Cambodia is +855.


Step-by-Step Dial Format (From Australia)

1. Dial + (or 0011)

2. Dial 855

3. Dial the area code

4. Dial the local number

Full format: +855 [area_code] [local_number]

Or using Australia's exit code: 0011 855 [area_code] [local_number]


+ vs 0011 — What's the Difference?

The + symbol works globally and is the recommended method. The 0011 exit code works specifically when dialling from Australia. Either format will connect your call.


Is Calling Cambodia Expensive?

Some mobile plans include international minutes, while others apply additional fees.

All E.Tel mobile plans include international minutes to call Cambodia directly from your mobile — 100, 200, or 300 minutes depending on your plan. No per-minute fee within your allowance, and predictable monthly billing.


Cheapest Way to Call Cambodia

There are three main options:

Internet calling apps — free or low cost but require a stable data connection.

Standard international dialling — reliable but billed per minute without an included allowance.

Mobile plan with included international minutes — best for regular callers who want simplicity and cost control.

If you call Cambodia regularly, a mobile plan with included international minutes is usually the simplest option.
