So, you're all set to call your mates in the US, but what about voicemail? Well, if you get a voicemail, just leave a message and hope they call you back - or you can try Skype or FaceTime instead, and have a fancy video chat like you're in a sci-fi movie! Either way, it's a win-win: you get to catch up with your mates, and they get to hear your awesome Aussie accent!
And finally, don't forget to check the call rates before you make that call - you don't want to end up with a phone bill that's more expensive than a trip to Disneyland! Just kidding, sort of... But seriously, make sure you've got a good calling plan, and you'll be golden - you can even use the money you save to buy your mate a virtual beer, or two, or three...!
In conclusion, calling the US from Australia is easier than throwing a shrimp on the barbie (that's a Aussie BBQ, for you non-locals!). Just remember the international dialing code, get an international calling plan, and you're all set for some quality chat time with your mates in the States. Now, go forth and call those Yanks - and don't forget to tell 'em about the amazing Aussie accent!
