Hi Andrew, This is just a follow-up on the comment I passed at the Dec meeting. I have been able to use Optus to dial US on their toll free (1-800) number. Whilst the calls are chargeable to me, at the normal rate, it saves having to check up on the local number. And where do you appear on the US end, as one of their 1-800 lines.
To call USA (assuming you don't need to use an override)
0011 1 800 nnn nnnn
where nnn nnnn is the published toll free number.
After you dial, a short message is played confirming that the call is being charged at the normal long distance rate. As far as I can tell, Telecom is unable to offer this service at present. They have the 0014 access instead.
Regards,
Greg Sclanders
[Sub-ed's note: Dial 1456 0011 1 800 nnn nnnn to access Optus if your long distance provider is Telecom]
