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
[b]The free number is 1223[/b]
Thumbs down to Telstra for finding a way to ‘charge’ for a service that is supposed to be provided for free.
