Reviews

Telstra T6
The T6 is the phone we never expected to see from Telstra. The price tag on the T6 is spot on for a phone with this feature set, and the Telstra Blue Tick should offer those in remote areas some peace of mind.
-
Samsung C5220
The C5220 is a passable prepaid from Telstra. Its low-specs are elevated somewhat by Next G compatibility, though there's little else to recommend it.

Telstra F852
The F852 may not be the best Next G phone available, but it looks good and the price is right.
