Customers of telecommunications giant Telstra will get unlimited calls on the country’s payphone network this Easter long weekend, as compensation for further mobile downtime in recent days.

Telstra CEO Andy Penn said he would have preferred to offer free mobile or data, but conceded the network probably wouldn’t be up to it. “This is the next best thing. We know our customers have been affected this week. We’ve heard the feedback, we’ve listened, and we’ve responded.

“So what we’re saying to our customers is this. Make as many payphone calls as you like this weekend, on us. No need for coins. No need for cards. Just find your nearest payphone, pick up the handset, and if the keypad’s not smashed in, just dial the number”.

I wish to report that my local payphone in Rural NSW Australia did not function correctly on Sunday at 7:30pm..
it refused to give me free calls, until i jammed straws into it!

How does that one work? You know, for science!

$2 coin goes in coin slot, straw goes up refund slot, well above of the flappy thing coin falls out but $2 credit remains, i think they fixed this flaw on 90% of the x2's like.. over 5 years ago, lol
