With the 12456 Call Connect service, you'll speak with a helpful operator who can connect you to any White Pages® or Yellow Pages® directory listing.

If you know the name of the person or business you're looking for, you'll be connected to their number. If you're looking for a certain type of business but don't know their name, the operator can provide you with up to three business listings and then connect you to the one you choose.

Enhanced Features

When you call from a mobile phone and are connected to the person or business you need, you'll automatically receive an SMS with their contact details so you can store this information in your phone and keep it handy to call again in the future.

Call Connect Exemption

Telstra customers who can't dial numbers on a normal phone, or find it difficult to do so, may be eligible for a disability exemption on the Call Connect service fee. For more information on our disability services, visit our Disability Website.

Things you need to know

Call Connect is provided in accordance with Our Customer Terms, as amended from time to time.

How it works

• When you call Telstra Directory Assistance 1223, you'll be connected to an automated speech recognition service that asks for the name of the person or business you need.
• You may be asked some questions to help us provide you with the correct listing.
• If the system can't recognise your request you'll be transferred to an operator who will help to find the number you need.

Enhanced features

• When you call from a mobile phone and are connected to the person or business you need, you'll automatically receive an SMS with their contact details so you can store this information to your phone and keep it handy to call again in the future.
• If you call from a fixed line and the requested number is busy or there's no answer, you'll hear the number so you can note it down and call it back later.
• If calling from a fixed line or mobile service and a match is found by the automated system, you can hold to hear the number.
• If a match isn't found, an operator will try to find the number for you - you can then hold to hear the number.

The Directory Assistance Helpline service is a specialised service to assist Telstra customers with a disability or special requirements to access national directory information. You can call the Telstra Disability Help Line 1800 068 424 for assistance if you have a disability or special requirement and cannot use either the printed or electronic version of the White Pages® or Yellow Pages® directories. The operator will asses if you’re eligible for the service.

The Helpline service is a free call from Telstra fixed and mobile telephone services anywhere in Australia.

Am I eligible to use this service?

To be eligible, you must:

• have a disability or a special requirement and be unable to use, hold or read a printed telephone directory (e.g. White Pages®); and
• be unable to use the standard Directory Assistance Service; and
• be a Telstra customer (i.e.: acquire a basic telephone service or mobile telephone service directly from Telstra) or be an associate of a Telstra customer (for example, spouse, member of household or employee) and user of the Telstra customer's telephone service.

Call the 1800 068 424 Telstra Disability Help Line and we will mail you an application form to be completed. The form requires you to state why you are applying for the service e.g.: “I cannot hold the telephone book/I cannot read the telephone book and am unable to use the standard Directory Assistance Service.”

Once you’ve completed and returned the form, the application will be assessed and you will be notified if your application is approved. Once approved, you’ll be identified as a person with special needs. When you call DAH, our voice agent will spend more time on the call to ensure you receive the required directory assistance.

The agent does not connect your call directly to the number you have requested.
