How do I send a text message to another country?

How do I send a text message to Bahrain from Australia? Is it +973 followed by the person’s phone number?

This might help. It breaks it down. I always have an issue with exit codes from the US when texting the UK. https://www.160.com.au/blog/bulk-smss/how-to-send-texts-internationally-from-australia

0011 = The exit code to take your SMS out of Australia. 64 = Country code.
...
Texting internationally is broken down into 4 parts:
Exit code (that takes the SMS out of Australia)
Country code.
Mobile network number.
Recipient's unique number.

@nedkelly that makes sense. So would I just have to do 001164 then the person’s number? Do I still have to add 973?

On most (but I think not all) cell networks I believe you only have to use the + symbol before the country code and phone number. 973 is the country code for Bahrain, so +973 xxxxxx.
