}}Southern Phone (also known as Southern Phone Company) is an Australian telecommunications company. It is located at Moruya, New South Wales.[1] Southern Phone was established in 2002 and operates as an unlisted public company.[1]

History

In 2002, Southern Phone was formed by councils in New South Wales, Australia in order to extend affordable telecommunications into regional communities.[4][2][1] The company received $4.77 million in initial funding from the Australian Government's Networking the Nation scheme. Local councils were shareholders[1], retaining profits in the community. Councils purchased two shares for $1 each.[8] In 2017, Southern Phone had 35 shareholders including the Upper Lachlan Shire Council, Coffs Harbour City Council and Bellingen Shire Council.[3][4][5]

Southern Phone has received various awards, such as the Home Phone Provider of the Year [6][7][8][9], and the Commitment to Customer Service award.[10]

Optus Satellite partnered with Southern Phone in October 2017 to launch the national broadband network (NBN) Sky Muster.[11][12] Southern Phone uses the Optus 4G network, as well as parts of the Telstra 4G/3G network for its mobile services.[13] By 2018, Southern Phone had delivered over $14.8 million in dividends to local councils with shares in the company.{{Better source|reason=This links leads to the website with company advertising.

Philanthropy

In 2014, Southern Phone launched the Southern Phone Grants Scheme and committed $1 million to regional community support in Australia. $25,000 is donated each year to each of the local council shareholders to be shared with community groups in their local region, in addition to the dividends each shareholder receives.[14][15][16][17][18][19][20]
