In Australia, the primary number to contact Santa is a free-of-charge hotline provided by Telstra:
People in Australia can now dial Santa in the lead up to Christmas from any of Telstra's 14,300+ public phones across the country by dialling #HO HO HO (#46 46 46).
Calling #464646 (which spells #HOHOHO) from a Telstra public payphone in Australia connects you to a free, interactive hotline to speak with Santa Claus, a popular Christmas tradition that runs annually until Christmas Eve, allowing kids to share wish lists and chat with the North Pole.
For a festive Santa call, the popular number in New Zealand is 0800 222 222 (Santaline), while in Australia, kids can dial #HOHOHO (#464646) from Telstra payphones, both usually active during the Christmas season to let children share wishlists or chat with Santa.
Just incase any local families are unaware, the kids can call Santa 🎅🏻 off the local payphone for free on #464646 (hohoho).
Yes, 112 works in Australia as an alternative emergency number to Triple Zero (000), routing calls to the same emergency services (Police, Fire, Ambulance) from a digital mobile phone, even using other carriers' networks if yours has no coverage, but it's not faster and requires some network signal.
1234. As a Telstra customer, call 1234 and an operator can provide you with street directions, information from Yellow pages®, movie times, sports results, weather conditions, marine reports and much more. If you're unable to talk, SMS a request to 1234 and the operator will send the information back to you as a text.
Yes, dialing 1831 still works in Australia to block your number (Caller ID) on a per-call basis from a home phone, making your number appear as "Private" or "Unknown" for that specific call; it's a standard feature for landlines and some mobile services, though #31# is common for mobiles.
There is no way of knowing who phoned you as many organizations have 0800 numbers. They will write to you regardless of whether you answer the phone. The phone call is just to inform you of what happens in case you have questions to ask. Your benefit should not be affected by not answering the phone.
Yes, *69 (Call Return) can work in Australia, but it depends on your service provider, with Optus supporting *69 on its HFC network and Telstra using \*10# for a similar function, often with a small fee per use, to dial back the last incoming call. It's a carrier-specific service to call back your last missed call, but it won't reveal private numbers.
The hotline is an international voicemail line for children of all ages to leave messages for the North Pole at no charge. Callers across the globe may dial into Santa's Hotline at 1-605-313-4000. FreeConferenceCall.com also allows children to call Santa using numbers in countries outside the United States.
Australians call Santa by the same names as many other English-speaking countries, primarily Santa Claus, but also commonly use Father Christmas, with both terms often used interchangeably, though "Santa" is perhaps more prevalent due to global media influence, while Kris Kringle is used for Secret Santa gift exchanges.

Calling #464646 (which spells #HOHOHO) from a Telstra public payphone in Australia connects you to a free, interactive hotline to speak with Santa Claus, a popular Christmas tradition that runs annually until Christmas Eve, allowing kids to share wish lists and chat with the North Pole.
Santa Claus's real name comes from Saint Nicholas, a 4th-century Greek bishop from Myra (modern-day Turkey) known for his generosity, with "Santa Claus" evolving from the Dutch name for him, Sinterklaas. He was a real person, famed for secret gift-giving, which inspired the modern figure known for Christmas presents.
*69, a code widely available in North America, allows you to redial the last incoming call that you missed. The service is provided by most telephone service providers and operates by storing the caller's phone number, allowing you to quickly connect back to them.
But if you ring 911 on your mobile - you'll actually get automatically redirected to 000. This is despite 000 and 112 being listed as the only working emergency numbers in Australia.
When your number is set to private, it will appear as “Private Number,” “No Caller ID,” “Unknown,” or “Restricted” to the person receiving your call. You can remove private number settings on both Android and iPhone. Both devices allow you to change caller ID settings through system settings.

It depends on the country: +61 is the country code for Australia, while +64 is the country code for New Zealand; you use the specific code for the country you're calling, dropping the leading '0' from the local number when dialing internationally.
Several companies previously provided reverse call services in Australia, including 1800MUMDAD, 1800Reverse and 1800PhoneHome. In 2019, major telecommunication providers Optus and Telstra ceased billing services on behalf of third party content providers, causing these services to close.
