Did You Know Australia's 1900 Phone Psychic Services Have Closed?


This psychic reading editorial is about the future of 1900 lines in Australia.

The rumours were all true. As of 1st Oct 2019, Telstra has closed down Australia’s 1900 lines, including 1900 psychic chat, tarot and regular 1900 & 1902 psychic lines.

The good news is that Vine Psychic Reading 1902 Line customers don't need to worry, because as a trusted psychic source, Vine’s secure online PayPal bookings are already well established and popular.

Secure PayPal Bookings

Vine introduced her secure PayPal psychic reading booking service into Australia when she was first guided to demonstrate the original spiritual arts over 12 years ago. She eliminated customer service screening to ensure the booking platform met world best standard. You are in charge of your booking details.

Why It's Important to Stop Customer Service Requesting Your Credit Card Details

Because of growing telephone-based fraud, it’s important to ensure that you don't give your credit card details to someone you’re calling and aren’t sure about their security and confidentiality.

With Vine’s PayPal bookings, you are in charge of your booking details. The best news is you still have a wide range of options to securely use your credit card, debit card or create a private PayPal account. No one will engage you in a conversation, or ask you to tell them your credit card details over the phone.

This is why we're confident our 1900 customers will find the fast booking service easy to manage, with the added bonus of saving money, compared to 1900 calls.

Buy Now Pay Later Payment Systems & Your Privacy

We've also been looking into other payment options, especially the lay-by online platforms (BNPL Buy-Now-Pay-Later systems).

Vine is particular about her customers’ security and some of the data-sharing policies of the Buy Now, Pay Later options in the marketplace have caused her to be discerning about the inadequate regulation and consumer safety guards in this new part of the financial sector.

Until there is stricter regulation that demonstrates that our customers have adequate data security protections, we won’t be using these services.

We also caution anyone considering signing up with a BNPL service to look at the privacy policy fine print, to ascertain how and where your data is being shared.

Are the 1300 and 1800 Psychic Chat Services Secure?

The next dilemma we expect users of Australian online psychic services to experience with the 1900 services closing down, is calling the 1300 phone psychic operators.

Free Call 1300 Numbers and Your Privacy - Why you Need to be Careful

Free call numbers like 1800 and 1300 phone numbers come with privacy and security considerations. Although they are smart numbers from the Australian and Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), they are open to misuse.

Here's what that means if you call a tarot reader or clairvoyant using a 1300 number. Unless you can be 100% certain that you are calling a trusted Australian business, which is required to follow Australia's consumer regulations, your innocent call to a 1300 psychic could come back to bite.

Australian Psychic Services that Are Redirected to Foreign Countries and Your Privacy

You might not be aware that Australian 1300 and 1800 numbers can be used internationally by going through different service providers overseas.

Some of these businesses are untraceable. They hire people from overseas to answer Australian callers and ask for your personal and banking details. You never know who you’re calling or where in the world they are. It can be the same with local 1300 psychic businesses that are asking for your banking details over the phone.

Large Psychic Chat Affiliate & International Businesses Ignoring Australian Consumer and Competition Laws?

Australian Psychics are required to follow consumer, competition and communications laws. Some of the large psychic chat and independent global psychics ignore Australian laws.

They are often found on the top of major searches hoping you will impulse buy. They are able to bid for expensive pay-per-click web advertising in Australia and often pretend to be located in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, Adelaide etc. when their real location is in another country.

Why do Global Psychics Pretend to be Located in Australia?

Google, Bing and Yahoo with the help of paid digital marketing, allow anyone to bid under the sponsored advertising section on the search engines, even if they use false names and locations. Google takes no responsibility for the content of their own Google Ads.

Some of the large psychic chat companies use this advertising loophole and trap the unsuspecting Australian psychic customer by enticing you to use Australian 1300 and 1800 numbers - knowing you associate smart numbers as being located in Australia. The ideal solution would be for telecommunication companies to stipulate where the 1300 psychic services are being internationally directed, to help Australian consumers and keep you in the loop.

Unless you can be certain you’re using a reputable online business that has a registered Australian business or company number, you may become a victim of a psychic chat, astrologer, tarot scammer.

This is why it is absolutely crucial before calling 1300 psychics or tarot readers that you do not impulse buy.

Vine was spiritually warned that the majority of online scams Australia has been experiencing are coming through VoiP.

Vine Psychic Reading Line Privacy Policy

Vine has been demonstrating a spiritual obligation to protect the privacy of her Australian customers for years. She has been front and centre sharing important online safety recommendations to stop you becoming an online victim.
