Free Wi-Fi is now available at selected Telstra payphones around Australia, and the company plans to extend the scheme.

Telstra announced that all Australians can now make calls right across the country for free on Telstra’s network of more than 15,000 payphones.

Once again, Telstra is allowing free use of its public payphones – in some cases including Telstra Air Wi-Fi – over the Christmas and New Year period.

Telstra has announced that it would be sharply reducing the rates for calls placed from its 15,500 public payphones across the country.

Australia’s biggest telco Telstra has caught the Christmas spirit, opening up its payphone network for free local, national and mobile calls until 28 December.

The first 150 Telstra Wi-Fi hotspots have been switched on, with over 100 towns and cities to get 1000 trial hotspots before 25 December 2014 - all free to use as part of a pre-launch trial.

Australia's biggest telco Telstra is building Australia's biggest WiFi network, today announcing it would transform some of its old payphones into WiFi hotspots as part of the upcoming $100 million rollout.

PieNETWORKS (ASX: PIE), the Perth based developer of WiFi enabled Internet kiosks/payphones chosen by Telstra for large scale rollout has secured an additional $2.3m of funding via a share placement.

After trialling 50 Internet kiosks from PieNETWORKS in capital city airports around Australia, Telstra has entered into negotiations with the company to supply terminals for a large-scale deployment.

Telstra is to deploy 50 Hotspot Webphones from Perth-based PieNetworks for a four month trial with a view to a large scale deployment around Australia.
