Find out how Ozzietel works

Ozzietel works just like a traditional phone service. Just pick up your existing telephone handset, no headset required, and make phone calls as you normally would - from your home phone to their home phone or mobile! Ozzietel uses your current broadband connection to make and receive calls but the people you call don't need either Ozzietel or broadband. And the great thing with Ozzietel is that your PC doesn't need to be switched on.

 

How do I get setup?

1: Choose a Call Plan

Ozzietel enables you to make unlimited calls either to Australia and/or abroad, all for a low-cost, set monthly fee. With eight very simple call plans to choose from; Pay As You Go is suitable for international calls, while Premium Unlimited Plan is an internationally focused call plan offering unlimited calls to up to 16 countries including Australia. Australia unlimited is mostly suitable for local and national calls in Australia. Asia Unlimited is suitable to make calls in Australia and Asia. Australia Unlimited + India 300M is suitable for calls in Australia and India. Australia Unlimited + Middle East is suitable for calls in Australia and to the Middle East. Calls made outside of the countries in your chosen plan are charged at our cheap international rates.

All our call plans come with innovative call features as standard - in fact over 15 in total at no extra charge.

2: Choose a Dialling Code

When you sign up to Ozzietel, you are set-up with a new Ozzietel telephone number. Ozzietel enables you to pick a local dialling code of your choice regardless of your actual location. This is particularly useful for businesses or anyone who wants to appear local to customers and friends or family but are in fact elsewhere within the country or even in another country! Likewise, people calling you will only pay a local call rate even if you receive a call when you're outside of your chosen dialling code area!

When you sign up to Ozzietel online, your phone number will be confirmed on the confirmation page of the online order

We've designed a simple Equipment Chooser to help you select the most suitable product to work with your current broadband modem / router set-up.

Once you order Ozzietel, you will receive your Ozzietel box typically within three working days of the order date. Installation is extremely easy. Just follow the simple step-by-step guide provided with your product and start making calls straight away.
