3 Network

After the 3 Mobile and Vodafone merger, 3 has now decided to follow Vodafone and introduce additional fees for calling re-routed services like ours. The fees that 3 are charging to call our access numbers are nearly the same as the ones that Vodafone is charging. Please note however that it is still significantly cheaper to make an international call through our service compared to direct dialing Internationally through your 3 mobile plan. If you are on a contract or prepaid standard calling plan (for instance the $20 to $55 cap plans) with 3, you are now going to be charged $1.20 per minute plus a $0.35 flagfall for each call you make to our access numbers. This is included as part of your cap value for most plans. Checking the 3 website, we could not find a contract or prepaid plan that excluded this from your cap value. Since a typical Australian mobile call on these plans costs $0.90 with a $0.35 flagfall, you can see how our service is still a better deal even with these extra fees added. If you are on an unlimited calling plan, you are now going to be charged $0.60 per minute plus a $0.35 flagfall. This will not be included in your cap value and you will have to pay these additional fees as a separate item on your monthly bill. This is not a good a deal as before but it still much better than directly dialing overseas with your 3 Mobile. If you are a 3 Mobile customer and still want to use our service, we recommend that you read 3’s website or contact them if you have any questions regarding how they are going to charge you. Unfortunately, we have no control over their pricing for calling our access numbers, and their terms may be subject to change.
