Answer 1

IF you have subscribed to it dial 101, otherwise dial 101 and set it up for free

Answer 2

If you are with Telstra you need to call them and have it set up for free.  A problem i found was that when they set it up they don't let the phone ring long enough and it goes to message bank when you are at home before you can pick up the phone.  Then you need to call the person back which means you have to pay for the call.  That is the reason that they give this service for free.  The person that made the call pays for the call and then you pay for another call to call them back.  Ask them to extend the phone to ring for a minute.  They will also explain how to use the phone.  If you have a message on your phone you will hear a different dial tone and then you will need to check your messages.
