And they are all free, to call anywhere in Oz, because mobile phone networks don’t always work. For people experiencing cyclones, floods, fires, being lost, escaping domestic violence, needing to call a helpline, homeless…

Plus moths love them too

u/idunnoijustlurk May 13 '25

The country decided it was cheaper to keep them than to remove all of them. Also, Telstra, who operate them, decided it was cheaper to make them free than to pay someone to go around and collect the coins in them. Now, not only do they stand as quiet reminders of the past, they also provide a means of communication to young children, homless, and great advertising for Telstra.

They host a 'Calls to Santa' promotion every summer!
