Telstra Phone Number - pls read

Hi everyone,

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.

Not too surprised, but you'd have to be desperate to call Telstra for info
on anything except how to get rich quick. In fact you have to be desperate
to use their (or anyone else's) bloody telephone service.

15 Km from Bne CBD and Optus mobile is useless inside my house.

Perhaps you could develop and manage a better national telecommunications
network? I heard it's really easy.

It was developed over many years by people much more competent than the
current mob, and was running quite well for many years too.

It shouldn't be that hard to *keep* it running.

Keep it running isn't sufficient! There is a massive overall process needed
NOW! It's already underway (slowly) and it is costing bulk dollars. This is
to drag the infrastructure up to basic DSL compatibility. Hardly sufficient
for the VoIP and related services that will be coming our way shortly. How
competitive can our industries be in the world when we have such ordinary
telephonic services? Oh well, back to the mining and agricultural based
economy again..

I half suspect the move to sell Telstra was less about competition or debt
repayment and more to do with the big bills coming down the track. I
remember one of the problems with Qantas was the big bills needed to keep it
competitive. No problems now for the government coffers.

I don't know what country you used to live in but the client services have
picked up noticeably from Telstra since the time it was fully publicly
owned. The back bone services are the problem due to the legacy structure in
place and the difficulty upgrading it (a planning hangover from those "good
ol' days"). Surprise surprise, there is no direct competitor to Telstra in
back bone services either so call charges are higher than they should be.

I don't really think that the 'General' run of the public that criticise
Telstra or the Other carriers (of Telstra's line).Really realise that when
they compare our 'Australian' Telephone System (Telstra's Wires)...to the
rest of the world they forget that we here are a nation of only some 20
million people...Not 260 Million like the USA(for instance)...and in excess
of 50 million in England, etc ...Now take any of the European Countries and
compare their 'Land Mass Size' to ours ! then to that 'much reduced' land
size...introduce many ,many millions more people to the Country.....Then
consider...The wiring that needs to take place to 'reach' their cities etc,
etc.... Now look at our Country..The Mass of land that we have and great
distances between the cities and Towns...Then re-remember that we have ONLY
20 millions people to help pay for it ....!!!

Obviously we will alway's have a problem; and be behind these other
countries..We do not have the 'Population' to 'Pay for it...or to make it
'Pay' !!

The USA has about the same land mass as we have and have over 260 million
people to 'Pay for it..or to make it 'Pay'..!!

So why keep winging about 'Telstra' all the time....As 'Mike' say's...Let us
'know' when you have something better to 'offer' !!

Telstra posted a record net profit of $4.12 billion for the year ending June
30 2004, so it seems to be managing despite the population thing. Companies
incessantly call with "better offers" so tele-service providing must be a
winner financially - all based on my phone bill. But more than that, it's
the feeling of price fear every time you pick up the mobile for instance,
the resentment when it doesn't work 100 yards out of town, and mostly
Telstra's being flogged off with that profit going into shareholders'
pockets. Maybe it's a case of shooting the messenger (literally) but there
is a lot of frustration out there about the fire sale.

But don't forget...jg...They are still using the wiring that is already in
place ! and has been for years..(with new wiring happening in Cities
only)...No further 'Extension' of the wiring systems though !...These
'competitors' are not 'paying' for 'extensions' to the wiring system....They
'All' hang on Telstra !....Nobody extends the 'wiring' system though ! do
they ?.And if Telstra does...They 'Have to recoup' the 'Costs'....Now don't
they ??

Not sure of your point, I don't believe the competitors offer much specially
when the wiring fails & telstra has to fix it - I believe it's quicker if
you are with telstra & that's a cost. For the optuses to fall over
themselves as they do for my business there must be big potential for them
(not for me). I resent them using "my" wires too just as I resent the public
owned telstra being flogged off, but I'm not punishing them for that. It
just costs a lot to use the phone that's all.

Exactly. Thank you very much. The trains (and public transport as a whole)
in Melbourne are far superior to NSW. When the the unions ran the system in
the Kane/Kirner years it is was a disaster - strike, strike strike, trams
welded to the tracks and so on.

The problem in the UK (as well as England, as it happens) is the track
network.

What rubbish, one major strike in the tram system over the removal of
conductors and this sort of myth develops?

Interesting comparison.... But for anyone who only sees the trains in Sydney
from the passenger's perspective you are only getting half, or less, of the
full picture about what things have become the way they are.
