• For business calls, be punctual and respect scheduled times; Australians value straightforward communication.
• Address people by first name in most business contexts unless they use a title or formal address.
• Explain the purpose of the call briefly and allow the other party to opt to continue or reschedule.

Reaching Australia via Apps

• WhatsApp, FaceTime, Zoom, Microsoft Teams and similar apps are widely used for personal and business calls.
• Most Australians have reliable mobile data or broadband, so VOIP calls are generally feasible.
• Some older users may prefer traditional voice calls or landlines; offer alternatives if app use is unclear.

International Calling Requirements in Japan

• Ensure international calling (IDD) is enabled on your mobile or fixed line; some plans block IDD by default.
• Dial carrier selection code (optional) + 010 + country code + number, or use + on mobiles.
• Prepaid SIMs may restrict IDD or require identity verification and sufficient balance before calling abroad.
• Corporate and hotel PBXs may require a prefix (often 0 or 9) before 010 or + for external lines.
• VoIP and app based calls usually only need data access; no 010 prefix or IDD option required.

Troubleshooting Calls to Australia
