Our payphones are free for all calls within Australia to standard fixed line numbers and calls to standard Australian mobiles all year round – but this December, we’re also opening up the lines to Santa’s Workshop!

From 5-24 December, we’ll be offering free calls to Santa and his festive friends from all of our almost 15,000 payphones around the country. Children around Australia can connect to Santa, Mrs Claus, and Santa’s right-hand Elf for a Christmas chat just by dialing a payphone.

Aussie kids can call Santa’s Workshop from any Telstra payphone by dialing # HO HO HO, which is #464646 on the keypad. We’ll put them in direct contact with Santa’s switchboard – and then they can press 1 for Santa, 2 for Mrs Claus, or 3 for Santa’s friendly Elf.

          We are unable to connect your call as we don't support calls to this destination. For more information on international calls…..

            @M00Cow:

            Well i just tried it from my mobile and get…

            It works fine from a payphone.

              @jv: But apparently it's not a local number.

                @M00Cow: It is a local number from my local payphone

                  @jv: It's a **free call* from your local payphone. But according to Boost, it's not a local call.

          It's like the telemarketers. It appears as a local number but they're working out of India / philppines / Nigerian castle. In this case, they're working out of North pole.

            @paaj: So Santa has outsourced his call centre ?

            • M00Cow on 06/12/2022 - 19:53

              @jv: Totally,. it's a freecall but hey have they got a Telstra/Origin/Real Insurance deal for you!

    • PainToad on 06/12/2022 - 14:52

      Yeah, but now they come with free COVID on the surface of the handset, ready to ruin your Christmas.

      • PainToad on 07/12/2022 - 06:44

        Reason for the vote downs? People enjoy Covid now?

        • sween64 on 07/12/2022 - 08:16

          More likely to catch it via airborne transmission than off a surface.

          • PainToad on 07/12/2022 - 08:34
            +1

            @sween64: More likely yes. But still possible. If it was my child I’d just let them use one of the countless apps that can be installed on a personal phone.

      payphone calls are always free

      Then why are you calling them payphones?

      • jv on 06/12/2022 - 15:18

        legacy name

  • b-radicool on 06/12/2022 - 14:34

    Are the Claus family just tele-bots? Or actual people?

    • dav3 on 06/12/2022 - 14:38

      Who in the hell is going to pay actual people to cover a free national phone line 24/7 to talk shit with the kids and stoners of Australia?

      • b-radicool on 06/12/2022 - 14:53

        Telstra?

        • FutureTech on 07/12/2022 - 08:10
          +1

          Yeah most likely outsourced to an offshore call centre

      • JIMB0 on 06/12/2022 - 14:54

        It's most likely a pre-recorded message.

  • M00Cow on 06/12/2022 - 14:35

    Careful kids, last time I tried a free hohoho in a phone box, I had to marry her 8mths later.

    • Pricebeat on 06/12/2022 - 14:38

      You missed out on free returns period. That’s 7 months and 29 days

    • m9 on 06/12/2022 - 14:43

      Count yourself lucky you didn't have to marry the other two

    • ccrap on 06/12/2022 - 14:49

      Don't worry that was from a previous promotion when they had free calls to 1902-SXC-SNTA

    • xoom on 06/12/2022 - 15:26

      Instructions unclear. Now paying child support.

      • idonotknowwhy on 06/12/2022 - 19:05

        just quit work then, no more income, no child support, no problems

  • bdl on 06/12/2022 - 14:40

    Do we need to provide kids passport details etc?

    • paaj on 06/12/2022 - 14:45
      +17

      No, this one is provided by telstra, not Optus.

  • prhino on 06/12/2022 - 14:41

    Santa is a sim slut

    • xoom on 06/12/2022 - 15:29

      Santa is a pimp who likes to pimp his ho ho ho.

    Telstra will also donate $1 per call to the Salvos… so there's additional benefit here
