Some calls cannot be made with a Telstra Telecard®. Calls that are not available include: free calls (000, 1800, etc), operator services in Australia (Wake Up calls, Call Connect, etc), Dial It services (time and weather), and Information services (1900 etc).
Some phones (especially hotels) may bar calls to the Telecard access number 18918. If this happens in Australia dial FREECALL™ 1800 051 818¹ to access the Telecard voice prompts and follow the instructions in Using Telecard in Australia. When overseas, the Telecard Global Reach service provides a local access number for most countries for use if the hotel or PABX bars calls (see Global Reach Access Numbers). Hotel call charges may apply to these calls. Please check with your hotel regarding these charges.
