Our Mission – Better Public Access To Foreign Language Interpreting
Using Interpreter Line professional language services is easy. We provide Over-The-Phone (OTP) and Video-Remote-Interpreting (VRI) that can seamlessly link you (and multiple callers) via a landline, 4G smartphones or AVL suites virtually anywhere in the world.
Please use the online booking form and we can respond with a quote, questions and options. The more information you can provide the better. Alternatively, you can call the free IL service line 0800 938 255 (9:00am – 5:00pm, Monday to Friday) and go through the requirements with a service manager. contact@interpreterline.nz
Service Options – 3 Plans
Casual Caller (one-off use) – Interpreter callback service
Ideal for one-off or infrequent users who need to communicate with a client, a new business partner overseas, cover a family visit or private occasion. Interpreters are available by pre-booking on a set-time callback basis. To book, up to 1-hour’s notice is required for casual one-off use. Once the booking is confirmed an operator will call you back at the set time with the interpreter on the line.
A 15-minute minimum charge applies making OTP significantly more cost effective than face-to-face. The base rate is $29.50 + GST. Time is calculated in 15-minute increments of ($29.50 + GST) or part thereof, thereafter.
Payment by credit card can be made securely over the phone or via our payment page. The booking will not be confirmed without payment and cards will be charged for any additional time taken beyond 15-minutes at the end of the call. The base rate minimum charge is applied for cancellation of casual bookings at any time.
