澳大利亚手机计费方式与中国相比,有很大的不同。首先,它是单项收费。其次,它的手机号码是全国性的。没有某某城市的手机的概念。
具体解释于下:
1. It is free to answer calls and receive SMSs.
2. All cell phones in Australia share the same area code: 04. There is no conception of local cell phone. If one calls a cell phone from a landline, the rate charged to the landline is similar to a long distance call, no matter whether the cell phone is in the same city as the caller or in other city. Ditto, there is no conception of national roam. You can travel to anywhere around Australia and your cell phone calls are charged at the same rate.
3. When you make calls from a cell phone, it is charged at the same rate, no matter you are calling a cell phone or landline, no matter it is a local or national long distance call (except special numbers like 1300...)
