The Telecom Connect Call Savings Plan is available nationally to all locations of an eligible business customer. The following conditions apply to the Telecom Connect plans:

• Customers must be Account Managed by a Telecom Account Manager.
• Customers must not be receiving any other price considerations or discounts on National and/or International Calls at the same time.
• Customers must take service pursuant only to the Standard Terms & Conditions for Telecom Network Service to Non-Residential customers.
• Cluster customers who wish to aggregate their nominated accounts for the purposes of a Telecom Connect Plan must be an officially recognised association or equivalent and collectively meet all the criteria.

• Customers must have a history of spending at least $50,000 per year on National and International Calls to qualify for 12% savings on National Calls and 5% savings on International Calls.
• Savings are applied on a monthly basis to every account included in the plan.

Savings apply to the following National and International Calls: Direct Dial Calls, Telecom Calling Card, NZ Direct, calls from the Telecom Network to telephones connected to the Telecom Cellular Network, calls to pagers, calls to the Scott Base Telephone Service, Telecom Smartfax, International 0800, and calls during Telecom price specials, Collect Calls, Conference Calls, Person-to-person Calls, Operator Connected Calls, Transfer Charge Calls, Urgent Calls and Price Required Calls, also calls to NZ Islands and calls to vessels in New Zealand waters.

• Customers commit to an expenditure target on selected Telecom services for the next twelve months. This expenditure target is independent of the flat rate discounts given to the customer (see above). At the end of the twelve month period, the customer will receive a credit of 2%, known as the “Connect Bonus”, of the expenditure target if they have met or exceeded the expenditure target.

• The expenditure target is negotiated between Telecom and the customer at the time of signing up for the Telecom Connect Call Savings Plan.

• The services included in the expenditure target are, for example, line rentals, and enhanced PSTN services such as Smartphone services, all National and International Call types listed on the previous page, CPE and National Leased Circuit Services. All services billed on the Telecom customer’s main monthly statements can be included for the purpose of calculating the expenditure target.

• The customer’s call savings plan will run for 12 months (from the date of being loaded onto the billing system) after which time the plan will be renewed or replaced.
