[mod.telecom] Australian Local Phone Rates

WBD.TYM@OFFICE-1.ARPA (William Daul / McDonnell-Douglas / APD-ASD) (01/12/86)

Does anyone know what the local Australian phone rates are like?  What I would 
like to hear is that they DON'T have local measured service, that they have a 
monthly charge for local service.  Thanks if anyone knows.  --Bi//

	Local calls in Australia cost about 15 cents (20 cents
	from pay phones) and are not timed.  The major cities are
	each covered by a single local call area.
