Long Distance Calls for Murdoch University - with AAPT

Due to the deregulation of the Telecommunications Industry on 1 July 1997, both National and International rates have decreased significantly in the Australian Market. Murdoch University have examined the various options available and have determined that AAP Telecommunications can provide the most significant savings for STD, IDD and Local Calls. Accordingly, these calls are all routed through the AAPT Network via a microwave link. In addition, all calls to Edith Cowan University and CurtinUniversity are routed at a cost of 10 cents per call.

Long Distance Call for Murdoch University Staff - with AAPT

As part of the contract with AAPT, Murdoch University staff have been offered significant discounts on National and InternationalCalls from their home telephones. If you are interested in more information about how to apply for AAPT Smartchaton your home telephone, please contact the Telephone Help Desk on 7222 for a brochure.
