You can't get a phone in Sydney without dialing +61! It's useless because there is no way to contact Envato by phone unless you're on Sydney's time zone. Europ

You can't get a phone in Sydney without dialing +61! It's useless because there is no way to contact Envato by phone unless you're on Sydney's time zone. Europe, North South America: too bad. This wouldn't matter except these are areas where Envato does a good deal of business. In the days when the Internet was a baby, the only way you could get phone support for Trumpet Winsock was by calling Tasmania. That was a +61 call as well(011 and 61 for the USA and Canada, 00 and 61 for everyone else).

+61 is the international country code for Australia. The US and Canada share +1. The UK is +44. These are codes used by the entire world when they phone someone in a different country - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_country_calling_codes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_country_calling_codes. Just Google what time it is in Sydney and find some overlap - you probably have a mutually OK time somewhere amongst the 2/3rds of the day you are awake, otherwise you'll just have to stay up late or get up early.
