Telecom asks for analogue landline phones
Telecom is asking the public to donate any old analogue landline phones so they can be sent to Christchurch and given to people without power.
The company said it's "collecting analogue landline phones from around the country to distribute to people in Christchurch".
"These ‘old fashioned’ corded analogue phones plug straight into a jack-point and don’t require mains power," said Telecom.
Telecom is asking that the public drop spare analogue phones in to any Telecom store during retail opening hours.
