Call Mum for Free This Mother’s Day
Call Mum for Free This Mother’s Day
Telecom is celebrating Mother’s Day today by
providing free calling to any New Zealand home line from any
Telecom phone box in the country.
With 3,171 phone
boxes from Cape Reinga to Stewart Island, there’ll be no
excuse not to call Mum and have that all important chat on
her special day.
Telecom Chief Marketing Officer,
Jason Paris says, “Telecom understands that it’s
important for people to be in touch with family members,
especially on special occasions like Mother’s Day.”
“We are all about connecting New Zealanders so
we thought we’d give Kiwis a helping hand to get in touch
with their Mum to tell her how much they care this
Mother’s Day,” he adds.
Telecom tracks the
volume of calls made on special days such as Christmas Day,
Mother’s and Father’s Day and New Years Eve and New
Years Day.
Kiwis make significantly more calls each
Mother’s Day than on Father’s Day so it’s obviously
more important to keep Mum happy than it is Dad!
The busiest phone box overall in New Zealand
currently is located outside the Manurewa New World in
Auckland with a total of 1,048 calls made over the past 30
days. A further seven Auckland phone boxes make the top 10
busiest phone boxes and their locations include Papakura,
Mangere, Glenfield, Takanini and Papatoetoe.
