    Put a plus sign instead of 011, followed by the country code (1). For example, to text number 555-1212 in 408 area code you would enter: +14085551212. This should work regardless of where you're texting from.

    Hope this helps!

    If you're in Australia then clearly 011 will not work as that's what you use in the US.

    You can do the +1 as dmapr suggested or you can use the Australian international dialling code which is 0011. (Be careful when you dial that, by the way. 000 is the emergency number in Australia, like our 911.)

    So for a number (408) 555-1212 in the US you would either dial +1-408-555-1212 or 0011-1-408-555-1212.
