About Compass Do I have to dial any codes to use Compass? There are 2 ways in which you can use Compass for your toll calls: 1) direct dial 2) coded access If you are a direct dial customer you simply pick up your phone and dial the number you wish to call. This and every call will be made using Compass and will be rated per the Compass rate plan you have selected. Our very best rates are reserved for our direct dial customers. If you are a coded access customer you must dial a 4 digit code, then the number you wish to call. This will direct your call through Compass and will give you access to Compass's Flexidial rates. If you forget to dial the code, your call will be handled by the company that charges you for line rental each month, at their advertised rates. The Compass codes are: National and national mobile calls: 0548 International calls: 0549 To make a coded access call, first dial the 4 digit code, followed by the area code without the leading zero, then the phone number. For example, to call a number in Wellington, dial 0548 4 123 4567 To make an international call, eg to Sydney, Australia dial 0549 61 2 1234 5678 Is Compass part of Telecom?

Compass billing Will Compass charge me for line rental? You can choose to switch your line rental to Compass to receive one easy bill each month. Will Compass charge me for local calls? Local calls are free but dialing an area code in front of what should be a local call makes it a national call - and we have to charge for those! So please double check that you leave out the area code when making local calls. This might include checking the recall function on your answer phone, any programmed speed dials and - if you have an internet connected computer - that the 'dial area code' check box is left empty in your dial up settings. Can I receive my bill by email? Definitely! Just fill out the form below and it shall be done. Your bill will be emailed in PDF format. Account name: Account number: Email: Can I view my bill online?
