Wouldn’t you know it, Telstra not satisfied with making millions of dollars off of us have decided to provide a service that will charge us when a free service already exists. I know this because of the following email I just received.
For all Australian respondents..
Telstra Phone book
For anyone contemplating using the Sensis directory service number, 1234, DON’T!
Sensis, as you may or may not know, is a subsidiary of Telstra.
The 1234 number is replacing the Telstra 12456 directory assistance number, but this time with outrageous costs attached: 40c to call the number, then 4c A SECOND!
By law, Telstra must provide a FREE directory assistance number.
They choose however not to pass this number on to the public
The free number is 1223
Thumbs down to Telstra for finding a way to ‘charge’, for a service that is supposed to be provided for free.
Of course, feel free to forward this on.
Rather than forwarding it on to everyone I thought it best to post it here as I reckon it will get far more exposure this way.
