TELEPHONE

Landline
The cost of a landline varies on the address and whether there is a cable already installed.

If there is already a cable and it was just disconnected recently it is approximately $59.

If disconnected but the connections have been removed from the residence it is approximately $125.

If brand new, approximately $209.

Getting a connection can take up to a few hours to 2 days if just recently disconnected or up to a week if a cable is not already installed.

If the customers are young (early twenties) the phone line can only be used for local calls for the first six months.

Call Telstra on 132 200.

Mobile phones are available in many shops in the area with different deals available. This business is very competitive so make sure to shop around.

Traveller meeting points, e.g. Internet cafes and travel agencies, often have special deals advertised which can be very good value.

Phone cards
In Australia various international phone cards are available. They are available from newsagents and Internet cafes in the area and are great value.
