History

Primus Telecom was the first carrier to be granted a license to compete against Telstra, when full competition was introduced in Australia in 1997.
The company has harnessed its global strength and its commitment to competition to capture a significant share of the local market.
Primus has backed its commitment to Australian businesses and consumers by investing some $300 million in its own network facilities around Australia. This enables it to deliver unsurpassed quality and service.
Primus is not only Australia's fourth largest fixed-line carrier, it is an award winning Internet Service Provider (ISP). Globally, Primus is one of the world's ten largest Carriers of international voice traffic, making it one of Australia's few, truly global telecommunications companies.
