Telstra – out to rip off consumers

It seems Telstra is scrambling to maintain profitability in the mobile sector as increased competition cuts into their margins.
As an example I received this text message yesterday:
Find people & business u need. Call 1234 for fast& easy assistance. $1.40/call +88c connection request & standard call chgs.
This shows a significant increase in charges when we last look at Telstra directory charges in 2005.
Sadly with the cost of data charges on mobile connections Tesltra has us over a barrel.
The only option is to get an extra phone book and keep it in your car. (I guess they will be charging for those as well next.)
