MAPS
Our Telstra & Optus coverage maps are below. We recommend checking your area's coverage before ordering new services to determine which network will serve you best. Coverage can vary between indoors, outdoors and depending on your specific device.
SPEED
We cannot guarantee the exact speeds you might experience because several factors influence speed, including the devices you use, network congestion, your location, and where the content is coming from.
Please note 3G network services are currently in phase-out. All carriers are expected to complete their 3G network service closure by mid-2024. You may require a 4G device with VoLTE calling capability to stay connected.
