I RECEIVED THIS IN AN E-MAIL FROM A
BOG MEMBER SO I AM POSTING IT FOR THE INFORMATION OF OTHERS.
For anyone contemplating using the Sensis directory service number, 1234,
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!
With this sort of pricing structure in place, it's no wonder so many Australians
hold Telstra in the same regard as the major banks.
By law, Telstra have to provide a FREE directory assistance number,
because they are still majority owned by the government.
They choose however not to pass this number on to the public.
What's the number? 1223.
Thumbs up 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.

More Telstra secrets.
112 is better than 000 from a mobile phone, as you don't need service for 112 to work.
I believe that Telstra has to pay Vodafone when 112 is used.
