* An important note about calling Kid’s Helpline with your mobile phone. If your mobile phone service provider is part of the Optus network, including Virgin, all calls are free. However if your mobile phone service provider is from other networks, calls may cost money and be listed on your phone bill. It's a good idea to check with them before you call.
