Directory Assistance:

Directory Assistance is a phone service used to find out a specific telephone number and/or address of a residence, business, or government entity. 

In Australia, there are two standard directory assistance numbers that can be accessed from any phone provider, these are 1223 for national directory assistance and 1225 for international directory assistance.

These calls are not included in your monthly mobile allowance. They are charged at a rate of $0.40 to connect the call and a further $0.99 per minute. Often you will receive an SMS after making this call containing the details you inquired about, this will be a reverse charge to your mobile account and you will be charged for an SMS at a rate of $0.25.

Please note, these charges are not controlled by Southern Phone, they are incurred by the Directory Assistance provider.

Premium Numbers:

A "premium" number is often a number that begins with "19". The best example of this number is Sunrise Cash Cow on 19 777 077 where a Single SMS entry will be charged at the premium rate of $0.55 (including GST).

Premium services are not included in any Southern Phone Mobile plan, so these will be charged in excess of your normal monthly plan fee under the heading "Mobile Special Calls" on your invoice. These fees are non negotiable and are charged by the premium parties.

Satellite phone Calls:

Satellite phone calls from your mobile service are not included in your monthly call allowance. These are classed as a "Special" call. Call rates can differ dependent on mobile network and calling destinations.
