Kids can call Santa (for free!) this Christmas from Telstra payphones
Dial #HOHOHO.
Have yourself a merry little chat with the big man in red this festive season!
There’s possibly no one busier than Santa at this time of year but despite millions of toys to sort and naughty and nice lists to double-check, the jolly old fella will also be making the time to answer his phone.
Throughout the Christmas period, from now until December 24th, Telstra will be offering free calls to Santa via any one of their 14,000+ payphones. But this year, we noticed something— payphones aren’t always the right height for some of our little callers. So, we’re excited to unveil the first kid-sized Telstra payphone – custom made for Aussie kids!
Getting Santa on the blower is easy, simply dial #HOHOHO (#464646) on any Telstra payphone and kids will be put in direct contact with the white-bearded man himself.
Kids can chat to Santa about all sorts of Christmas topics , from asking about the weather in the North Pole, to what the reindeer like to snack on before their big Christmas Eve adventure, and of course have the opportunity to submit their wish list.
This is not only a fun activity for kids but an educational one. With Telstra’s payphones free for all calls within Australia, taking kids to a payphone to call Santa is a great way to teach them how to use and locate their nearest payphone in case of an emergency.
