If you’d like to call your friends or colleagues in Australia for a tiny fraction of what you’d normally pay when you use your regular phone service supplier, check out the Planet Telecom international calls service. You’ll pay just 1.5p a minute to call an Australia landline or just 1.5p to call and Australia mobile. There’s an initial 5p connection for each but you’ll still end up paying a tiny percentage of what you’d expect to pay if you just use the big boys.  You can call from your mobile or your landline and the prices apply any time, any day.

The Small Print

You can use our cheap international calls service if you’re under 18 but please get the bill payers permission first.

We will credit you with calling credit (as per our tariff) and issue a PIN to that value with a UK geographic landline telephone number to access the service.

Calls to the access number 0161 328 7777 will be charged as per your usual mobile or landline price plan to a UK geographical landline, and may be part of your monthly inclusive minutes allowance. Please check with your service provider to confirm this.

Calls are charged by the minute and are subject to a 5p connection charge on all calls (all quoted prices are inclusive of VAT, and apply 24 hours a day, 7 days a week when using the 01 access number). Rates are effective from 21st November 2024 and may be subject to change without notice. We reserve the right to terminate any call if we consider it is being made unlawfully or fraudulently. In this case any outstanding calling credit will be cancelled and will not be refunded. The service is subject to availability. Prices are subject to change without warning. E&OE.
