Australia Direct® Reverse Charge lets you make reverse charge calls from more than 70 International Calling Destinations. Dial the access number and a Telstra operator will connect you to your requested number. The cost of the call will be charged to the person you are calling.

To charge the call to someone other than the person you are calling, ask the operator for an Australia Direct Third Party charge call. The operator will ring the number you wish to charge to get approval for the payment, then connect your call if the payment is accepted.

Features and Benefits:

• no payment required at the time of call¹
• convenience - particularly for emergency use
• helps avoid problems with foreign currency and phone systems
• avoids language barriers
• call can be made to/from most fixed phones.

Pricing and Access Numbers

For each successful connection, the customer is charged an operator service fee ($4.25), plus a charge for the duration of the call.

The timed charge component of an Australia Direct call is based on the originating country, and is charged in one minute increments with a minimum charge of 3 minutes eg. a call lasting 1min 30sec will be charged for three 1 minute blocks. A call lasting 3min 30sec will be charged four 1 minute blocks.
