Description of Service

The Telstra Freecall Inbound Services lets people from a specific region call you using one phone number. You can choose the type of Inbound Service you want, such as:

  • Freecall One8, Freecall 1800, Priority One3, Priority 1300, and
  • International Freecall and Global 800.

You can also purchase PhoneWords for easy recall of phone numbers based on your brand or service.

Information about the service

Freecall One8 and Freecall 1800: are automatic reverse charging features so the caller does not pay for the call if in Australia from a basic telephone service. This feature is not available outside Australia.

Freecall One8 numbers have seven digits starting with “180” and Freecall 1800 have ten digits starting with 1800.

Priority One3 and Priority 1300: Allows calls from anywhere in Australia and for some international locations.

Priority One3 numbers have six digits starting with “13”. Priority 1300 numbers have ten digits starting with “1300” (plus any applicable international codes).

The charges for international calls are paid by the caller you do not pay charges for international calls to your Priority One3 or Priority 1300 service terminating on a fixed line service). International calls may originate only from countries where we have an agreement to support the Priority One3 and Priority 1300 services

International Freecall and Global 800 services

The International Freecall service and Global 800 service are automatic reverse charge services for voice or fax calls from outside Australia. This means that a caller does not pay for calls to an International Freecall or Global 800 number from a country where they are available to the caller.

PhoneWords

A PhoneWord is an Enhanced Right of Use number, or ‘smartnumber’ which includes an alphanumeric translation of the smartnumber.  Smart numbers can be purchased from Telstra or ACMA. If you obtain a number from ACMA you can then come to Telstra to activate it.
