Telstra Roaming Service

I arrived at Perth at about 8:3o hours this morning. My mobile phone automatically logged to Telstra roaming service. I was just wondering what prefixes I should dial in order to call my home. Before departing, the customer service officer of NWPCS in Hong Kong advised me that I should stick to 00852. Oh shit... this didn't seemt to work at all.

Just when I was frustrated and angry, a SMS message from Telstra came to my mobile phone, advising all visitors to use oo11 followed by country code in dialling overseas calls. This is really a fantastic service to deliver the right information at the right time. Indeed SMS is so powerful that it can tremendoulsy enhance the services of mobile networks.
