Australian Telstra Exchange Feature Codes
Last Updated on Sunday, 01 August 2010 00:38
On the odd occasion, I find myself having to use advanced features on Telstra service phone numbers. Finding these numbers is often time consuming and what's worse, trying to remember those exchange numbers you USE to know is frustrating to say the least!
This is why I've compiled my own list of Exchange Feature numbers. Please contact me if you have any additional numbers I may have missed.
