Telephone PINs on UQ landlines
You can use a PIN on any UQ phone to make local, long-distance or mobile calls.
A PIN will let you make all kinds of calls from any UQ phone, regardless of the call restrictions on that phone.
The cost of the call will be invoiced to you, rather than to the person whose phone you used.
Types of PIN
Different telephone PIN levels allow for different kinds of call. There are five types of PIN:
- Code 1: International (includes international, domestic, mobile and local calls)
- Code 2: Domestic (includes domestic, mobile and local calls)
- Code 3: Queensland-wide (includes calls within Queensland, and mobile and local calls)
- Code 4: Local (includes local calls only)
- Code 6: Mobile (includes mobile and local calls).
