Three Party Calling

Three Party Calling allows people in three different locations in NZ or across the world to join in on the same phone call.

How does it work?

With the press of a button, people in three different locations can share the one phone call. You, as the primary party, dial in the other two parties. When you hang up, the call ends for all three parties.

How much does it cost?

Three Party Calling costs $3.95 per month.

You will also be charged the cost of calling the two other parties (at local, national, home to mobile or international rates as per your TelstraClear pricing plan).

TelstraClear requires 30 days notice of cancellation of PhoneLine features. This means the usual charges will continue to apply for 30 days after the date you cancel your service, even if it is disconnected within that period.

Things you should know

Three Party Calling requires a touch-tone phone and is available in most areas.
