The communications regulator, the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), has committed to putting in place new arrangements so that from 1 January 2015 calls to 1800/13 numbers from mobile phones will be free or the cost of a local call.

This announcement follows the campaign spearheaded by the Australian Communications Consumer Action Network (ACCAN) - 'Fair Calls for All' - to end the high cost of calling 1800/13 number from mobiles.
