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 Turbo 21 modem

    Telstra's Turbo 21 delivered the fastest wireless broadband experience we've seen. This excellent performance will be enough to justify its high price for some.

  • Telstra T165i

    The Country Phone will feel at home in those remote areas that struggle with mobile coverage. It makes up for an absence of bells and whistles with great performance of its essential features.

  • Telstra EasyTouch Discovery

    The EasyTouch Discovery is the perfect first phone for people who are not confident with mobile technology. Designed for ease of use, the Discovery has a few extra toys to play with once you've mastered the basics.

  • Optus USB Slimline Modem

    The Optus USB modem works as advertised, but fluctuations in service and a few software bugs have hampered our experience during testing.

  • LG KF390

    Take out the Next G reception and you end up with a low quality handset at a mid-range price point. Still, it's great to see another blue tick phone for our friends in the bush to consider.

  • Telstra F852

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

  • Can Vodafone close the rural 3G gap?

    Optus, Vodafone and Three have long struggled to match Telstra's reach outside the capital cities. Vodafone's major network upgrade is the best chance yet to dilute Next G's rural monopoly, but questions remain.

  • Vodafone coverage hits 94%

    Vodafone has gone live today with its expanded 3G coverage to rural areas, now reaching 94 per cent of the population.

  • Telstra reclaims Twitter profile from cybersquatter
