Telstra is giving everyone a chance to connect with friends and family by making payphones and selected Telstra Air Wi-Fi hotspots free of charge over the Christmas to New Year period.
The payphone network will be free and available to anyone who needs to use it between December 24, 2020 and January 1, 2021.
That way, those who need it can make free local, national and standard mobile calls, and SMS to anywhere around Australia.
Hearing the voice of a loved one this time of year is so special, but seeing your loved ones is even better, so Telstra is also making selected Telstra Air Wi-Fi access points at payphones and stores free to use.
There are still over 15,000 payphones around Australia, with over 11 million calls made each year.
Last year's initiative saw almost half a million calls placed for free on the payphone network during the Christmas period, which equals almost 1.2 million minutes of calls.
To stay safe during COVID-19 remember to respect social distancing and wash your hands before and after you use the payphone.
