HomeChoice Plans:

See the International Call Rates table below.

Standard Home Phone Plans (Primus Saver, Value and Family):

Save even more on your international phone calls by taking advantage of our Name-a-Nation or Desti-Nation rates.

Name-a-Nation
You can nominate the country you make most of your international calls to and receive a special low rate to that country. If at any time you would like to change your Name-a-Nation country you can, simply by calling Primus Customer Service.
Desti-Nation
With Desti-Nation, you can make international calls to friends and family in several countries and save!
So, instead of choosing just one country, you are able to nominate one of four set packages and receive our fantastic Name-a-Nation international call rates to every country in that plan.

½ hour Cap
The ½ hour Cap is the maximum cost of a 30 minute call to the nominated Name-a-Nation country or countries included in the nominated Desti-Nation package.
Calls to these countries are charged at the Name-a-Nation or Desti-Nation rate until the total charge (including flagfall) reaches the Cap. After 30 minutes, the call is again charged at the Name-a-Nation or Desti-Nation rate.
Standard Rates
The standard rate per minutes applies to all other international calls.
