SECTION 3
PAYPHONES

This section lists all the charges for calls from Telecom's payphones. The charges shown are maximum prices, and in some circumstances customers will pay less as a result of rounding up to the nearest cent.
Note: all payphone prices listed in this section include GST.

3.1 Local Calls from Payphones

  • Charge per minute or part of a minute $0.20

Note:

  • The charge for a call of any duration for A/B Coinphones is 20 cents. This is a special rate applying only to A/B Coinphones.
  • Emergency calls (dial 111) are not charged for at any time.

3.2 National Calls from Payphones

3.4 Payphone Calls to/from Ross Island (Scott Base Telephone Service)

Calls to telephones connected to the Scott Base Telephone Service (SBTS) can be made from all payphones. Payphones connected to the SBTS can be used to make local calls, calls to New Zealand and calls to the rest of the World. Charges for these calls are given in section 3.5.

3.5 Tables of Charges from Payphones

3.5.1 A/B Coinphones

Local Calls

  • Charge for a local call of any duration $0.20

National Calls

National (toll) calls from A/B coinphones must be placed through the operator. There is no charge for operator assistance for connecting calls from A/B Coinphones.

  • National charge periods and steps apply to national calls from A/B coinphones. (See section 2.2) of this document.

The following four tables give the charges of national calls from A/B Coinphones for periods between 1 and 10 minutes over the various charge periods and charging steps. The charge for calls that exceed 10 minutes can be calculated by adding multiples of the 10-minute rate and the appropriate single-minute rate. For example, a 23-minute call is charged at twice the 10-minute rate, plus the 3-minute rate.
