Get the Answers you seek by SMS!
There are times when talking is not appropriate.  When you’re in a noisy place, when you don’t want other people to hear or maybe you just can’t be bothered.

Well the great news is you can now get the answers you seek from 1234 even when you can’t talk.

We are expanding the way our customers can access our 1234 service by introducing an SMS service to 1234. In February 2008, Telstra mobile customers will be able to access a “personal assistant” via SMS.

SMS the number 1-2-3-4 to request the phone number of a person or business, movie times, weather forecasts, Yellow™ information, world times and dialling codes, sports scores, find-a-fact, street directions and more. Once we have completed the search, we will send you the information you asked for via SMS.

If our expert operators cannot recognise what you are requesting, they will send you an SMS and ask you to clarify to ensure the information they send to you is exactly what you are after.

Use 1234 SMS when you are unable to talk, you wish to send the information to a friend or simply because you would prefer to SMS our operators rather than call.

What information can I get from 1234 SMS?
You can get all the information that you can currently obtain when you call 1234. For more information click here

What is the price?
You will be charged a one off fee of $1.40 incl. GST for each request sent to the 1234 SMS service.

This means the “conversation” you have with the operator, comprising of your request to 1234 and any clarifying SMS’s between us.
