Free Christmas Calling

Orcon is making sure all its customers look angelic in the eyes of family and friends in far, far and really far away places this Christmas.

On Christmas Day Orcon customers will receive 24 hours of free talking, free laughing, and free uncomfortable silences to New Zealand, South Africa, Britain, Australia, USA, China, India, Germany, Canada, Taiwan and Malaysia.

Orcon CEO Scott Bartlett says it’s a small gesture in support of far-flung families and friends during the festive season.

"There’s no better way to spend Christmas than with your loved ones, but for those limited by geography we wanted to do something a little special to ensure they can catch up with family and friends. With the savings you’ll make there is no excuse not to call up everyone you know."

For those who want to speak for more than one hour the solution is simple - just hang up after 59 minutes and then call back for another free 59 minutes - you can talk until your heart is content without adding any extra cost to your phone bill.

Just remember, these awesome free calls don’t include ‘special services call’ numbers (but that’s OK Nana doesn’t have a 0900 number anyway) or calls to mobiles. Make sure you check out the other terms and conditions, in not so fine print here: http://www.orcon.net.nz/about/terms/category/promotions
