There are still several payphones and WiFi hotspots stationed around the Illawarra - such as in Bulli, Woonona, Wollongong, Shellharbour, Barrack Point, Dunmore, Kiama and Bombo - each with the ability to contact Mr and Mrs Claus at the North Pole for free.
For each call to Santa's Workshop, Telstra will donate $1 to the Salvation Army, while they're also using the exercise as a way to teach kids how to use a payphone in case of emergency or should their mobile or Wi-Fi enabled device run out of battery.
To get in touch with the jolly old fellow, find a payphone and dial # HO HO HO (#46 46 46). Kids will be put in direct contact with Santa's workshop and can press 1 to speak to Santa, 2 for Mrs Claus and 3 for an Elf.
