Pitcairn has recently installed a new Inmarsat "mini-M" telephone system. This new system uses the British Telecom Earth Station in New Zealand.
Inmarsat "mini-M" - available 24 hours/day:
Public telephone: + 872 762337766
Control Room telephone: + 872 762337765
Fax: + 872 762337767
The station is usually unattended, but there is an answering machine for phone calls. The station is checked for calls at 20:00, 00:00 and 05:00 GMT. If you're lucky, there might be someone there at those times.
There is public phone in the satellite station which uses Pitcairn's own unique phonecards. It is expected that these cards will become very valuable in the future. The number printed are strictly limited. They can also be viewed, and purchased from the Administration's web site. It is also hoped that much-needed revenue can be raised by the sale of these cards.
