There are several options you have, depending on where the email’s come from, and whether you’d like to report or complain about it.

If the email doesn’t contain offensive, fraudulent, pornographic or gambling content, and doesn’t breach your privacy, and the email originates within Australia or refers to an Australian product or service:

You might want to contact the sender directly and ask that you be removed from their mailing list. We recommend calling them because replying to suspected spam can sometimes generate more.
You can report spam manually to the ACMA by completing an online spam submission form.
If the email originates outside of Australia or where the origin is unknown, unfortunately not much can be done aside from reporting the spam or forwarding the email (including header information) to:
reportingspam@submit.spam.acma.gov.au.
If the email does contain offensive, fraudulent or gambling content, or breaches your privacy and:
It contains offensive content

If the email contains content you think might be prohibited, like pornography or pictures of violence, you might be able to register it as an internet content complaint through ACMA.

If it endorses prohibited gambling

If you’ve received spam that promotes a gambling site that sounds suspicious, it may be prohibited under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001. You can lodge a complaint about prohibited gambling advertising or sites through ACMA.
If it sounds like a scam or asks for your personal details

Spam that tries to fool you into providing personal details or to join scams that sound too good to be true (like ‘get rich quick’ schemes) can be reported to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) through their Slam a cyberscam program.
For more information about reporting and complaining about spam, visit ACMA’s spam reporting, complaints and enquiries site.
Alternatively you can email support@interphone.com.au

Privacy matters and we understand this. Interphone is committed to protecting your privacy and keeping your personal and financial information safe and ensuring the security and access of your data.

To help manage your account and services, you do have the option of enabling others authorisation for your account to act on, or access account information.

The person whose name is on the account is known as the ‘Legal Lessee’ or ‘account holder’.

Legally, this person is financially responsible for the account and there can only be one.
However, the account holder may authorise others to access the account and give them authority to act on that account at various levels.

The selected level of authority determines their access and the actions they can or cannot take in relation to your account.

As an Interphone account holder, you may want a family member, friend or associate to act on your behalf and, for example:

· Provide a spouse with access to your account
· Give your child authority for billing inquiries on your account, or
· Add a power of attorney to manage an account on your behalf.

Note; the account holder retains full responsibility for the account, and is responsible for the actions of the authority.

If you’re an account holder and you want to add an authority to your account, you can call us on 1300 301 337.

· Must be 18 years or older
· Has full authority over your account including authority to set up new Interphone services and products on your account, change account details, cancel services and access your Interphone bills

To add an authority to your account, you’ll need to provide us with their full name and date of birth.

It’s important that you ensure these details are correct, as in future, when we need to use them to verify their details and allow them access to your account, the information given must be a match.

If we’re unable to verify the full name and date of birth given to us they’ll be unable to take action on the account until the account holder has updated their information.

Full authority or Third-party authority.

With full authority, a person can act on your behalf, access personal information on your account and make changes to any monthly plans, add or disconnect Interphone services. The account holder is responsible for actions taken, or contracts entered into by them.
