FirstDirect Contact Tips
Customers with inclusive minutes’ packages as well as minutes left to use will pay nothing if they opt to call FirstDirect. Customers who do not have such packages should be ready to standard rates when calling on 03 456, which attracts similar charges as 01 or 02 geographical numbers.
The calls to 03 456 numbers only attract similar rates to the geographical numbers when customers make them from mobile phones. Customers who do not know how much each call will cost should speak with their phone service providers.
