iPhone to make calls on the Telstra network but unfortunately it’s not a complete hack. At the moment it’s not possible to receive calls or send/receive text messages. To compound things the procedure to unlock the phone is fairly complex and you need to be a bit of a techie to pull it off. If you’re game, here are the

Fone Zone buys Next Byte: an iPhone clue?

Published: September 3, 2007, 8:19 pm

a word, no. Fone Zone may be Telstra exclusive, but that won't make Next Byte the same. This is Fone Zone broadening the income portfolio - if Telstra gets iPhone, Fone Zone won't need to be an Apple reseller to stock it. I'd almost think that, if it is anything at all (and I stress, I don't think it is), it would be a firming of the idea that

Not Happy Helen

you need a reason to love Telstra but suing a government minister personally for jipping it out of almost one billion dollars definitely ups the telco's cred. Especially when that minister is Helen Coonan. Telstra's taken action in the Federal Court in an effort to force the Communications Minister to disclose documents justifying why a

Bigpond Cable goes 30Mbps: fibre poor weep

It's been one of those thoughts I've often had. "Surely fibre should be able to deliver better speeds than copper?" Of course it can, but until now it just hasn't. And now Bigpond has flicked the switch on 30Mbps downstream (1Mbps up) for Cable Extreme users to customers in "selected areas" of Sydney and Melbourne, which they put at over 1.8

We might like to throw barbs at Telstra now and then, but a little Aussie pride goes their way when we heard they won an International Engineering Consortium (IEC) 2007 InfoVision Award for the NextG wireless broadband service. [iTWire]

seen it a year ago...Now Telstra has stepped up to deliver a far more substantial Foxtel package for your mobile. And at its WORST, we're talking about $18 per month for 30-some channels of streaming TV. Plus Foxtel iQ owners will be able to set their box to record from their mobile. If you really want to bitch about that, then I'm afraid

Moto Q9h on Telstra NextG

Published: November 4, 2007, 5:55 pm

Tags: Phones, Motorola, Nextg, Phones, Telstra

great handset, but it seems Telstra has pulled a 'premium' price point on it at $999, whereas Vodafone list the Q9h at $799. Contract deals will vary, but that's a substantial difference in starting point for the deals to work from. If NextG comes with 2GB microSD and Voda doesn't, maybe that accounts for some of the differential?
