i recieved this email...
can anyone confirm this to be true?
For all Australian respondents.... Telstra Phone book
Hi everyone, 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 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.
can anyone confirm this to be true?
