Telstra - Free Calls to Ukraine, Poland, Hungary, Moldova, Slovakia and Romania

Just spotted this on their blog!

As distressing events unfold in the Ukraine, we know many people in Australia will be anxiously seeking news of their loved ones.

We want to help where we can, so from today we’ll be making it easier for our customers to stay in touch with friends and family by providing free calls to Ukraine.

And with many Ukrainians fleeing to neighbouring nations, we’ve followed the UN’s assessment of refugee movements to also make calls free to Poland, Hungary, Moldova, Slovakia and Romania.

We’ll be waiving charges for calls to these countries from Telstra home phones and post-paid mobiles for the next month, and we’ll continue to monitor the situation.

Things you need to know

Keep in mind that calls to these regions may not always go through, due to potential infrastructure damage in the region.

Depending on your account, some people may not see the free calls logged in their call records.
