It should be legit

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.

Theve done this before! same with the banks!! when they change your account and start charging fees that werent there when u started the account, just ask them what acounts they have that dont attract fees - cause they still offer it (they have to) they just change the name and dont tell the customers!

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :cussing

this makes me very angry. My wife busted me for checking out account balance at another banks ATM. They charged us $4 for the pleasure. If it was any other industry (bar telephones of course) they'd get done for exploitation.
