Call Waiting

Call Waiting is a great service for busy households and for people running a business from home - as it lets you know if someone is trying to call you when you're on the phone. If you're on the phone and someone rings you, you'll hear four short beeps. You can then choose whether or not you answer this second call or switch between callers.

Caller Display

Caller Display lets you see the phone number of the person calling you before you answer. This means you can decide before hand how to answer the call or use to screen unwanted callers.

Call Diversion

When you are out and about, divert your home phone to another phone (mobile or landline) so your calls will follow you. You can then answer your calls wherever you are. There are 3 ways to set up Call Diversion:

  • Immediate call diversion - all your calls go to the number you've chosen;
  • Diversion if not answered - the call goes to your home phone first. If there’s no reply after ten seconds, your caller will hear a message letting them know that their call is being diverted to another number;
  • Diversion if busy – calls are only diverted if the phone is busy.

Faxability

Faxability is great if you have a fax and phone on the same line. With Faxability your fax machine will get its own ring tone (so you can identify it as being different to a phone call). Your machine recognises the ring and immediately accepts the fax message. 

 $3.95/mth

Three Way Calling

 3 Way Calling lets people in three different locations share the same phone call. 3 Way Calling is great for chatting to family, friends or using for small conference calls.

Woosh Wiring Assurance

The wiring in your home can experience wear and tear over time. If it needs repairing you'll need a technician to fix your wiring. By choosing Wiring Maintenance you pay a small monthly fee. Then if something does go wrong with your internal wiring or sockets, the cost of repairs (parts and labour) is covered.

$3.98/mth

  • Only available to Rural Landline customers.

 

  • There is no contract term on your landline plan however if you cancel your broadband plan your landline plan will also be cancelled. 

 

  • Smart Services are not available in all areas and may not be available or be limited due to network constraints and incompatibility with other products and services. Once you sign up for Smartphone services, you need to give us 30 days' notice if you want to cancel them. So the usual charges will continue to apply for 30 days after the date you actually cancel the service(s), even if the service itself is disconnected during that time.

 

  • Call Minder: requires a touchtone phone and is not available in all areas.

 

  • Caller Display: you'll need a compatible telephone, or a separate display unit attached to your existing phone. The phone number will not be displayed if your caller a) dials a code which blocks Caller Display from recognising their number, b) calls from outside New Zealand or c) calls from some older exchanges or non-Telecom networks, a payphone or some mobile phones.

 

  • Call Waiting: requires a touchtone phone

 

  • Call Diversion: Calling charges apply if you divert your calls to a mobile phone or to another phone outside your local calling area.

  • Woosh Wiring Assurance: is an optional cover against faults in wiring, provided to you by Chorus. It covers the cost of parts and labour for the repair of faults caused by normal wear and tear in internal wiring and POTS sockets within your home. This fee covers the cost of labour and replacement of faulty parts with Chorus parts, but excludes any Woosh equipment.

     

 

Note: the RJ45 sockets are excluded from the Woosh Wiring Assurance service.

It is optional, so you can choose:

  1. To have Woosh Wiring Assurance, or 
  2. To be responsible for your own repairs. If you need repairs, you can arrange for an outside company (i.e. an electrician)  to carry out the work.
  3. To ask Woosh to arrange for a Chorus to carry out the repair, and any applicable charges added onto your Woosh account: 
     Please note that you are not covered for any faults for the first 30 days from confirmation from Telecom Wholesale that the product has been added to your line for both a new connection or a reconnection i.e. you have moved address.
