Will YOU be affected by the 3G network being turned off later In OCT 24?
Yeah it screws me over. Especially with studying. And some of the local businesses who's eftpos machines only work on 3G. The 3G signal out here is much better than 4G....so an upside is probably less waffling from me on SN. Hooray!
haha, that'd suck @SR. Did you have a deadline on Tuesday-ish? noticed you pulled a couple of all-nighters sun/mon!
haha that might have had more to do with it being Grand Final weekend @basesix. Which is resulting in study all nighters this week!!

3G Day of the Dead ~ Zombie Black List Apolcalypse
Background Oz Telcos swear they can only block Phones they Sold.
Meaning...
They purposely withheld non compliant phone info until last minute...
T&C Encyclopedia : RE: [Independently Verified based on sound established industry practice]
Why! Coz these suckers will need to Impulse buy Inflated Oz Switch Telco Plans or Die!
Here's How the Mandate Works...
"Oz Telcos are obligated to ensure you are meeting your Safety and Compatibility Requirements!"
We can't leave you dying without [000] Call access...e-commissioner peace envoy will kill us!
(So we'll offer you $10,000 worth of extras with this special one off $1,000 Aussie 4G switch plan!)
Sounds like a Class Action for "Hostile Alien Mix Oz Brand / Exotic Ruffians"
Hot Tip!
If yer phone don't work > (Refrain from admitting yer on a Mixed Combo SIM)
Coz any mixed / Foreign type Combo will likely Void any duty bound Oz Telco replacement!
Maybe just go to Jail...is yer best option...(Hate to cop that breach Penalty Unit of T&C...fark!)
* Tourists visiting Oz > run down their Operational Network > Then [Censored]
* Foreign Phones + Foreign SIMS also cut out...
* Again...It's cornering the market by Exploiting a Mandated Panic Buy Oz Telco upgrade or Die!
* Exotics / Combos are banned > Unless they buy Dedicated Oz Telco Upgrade Kits.
https://www.techradar.com/news/phone-and-communications/mobile-phones/te...
* 4G Phones purchased in Foreign (Zones) are being blocked.
* o's purchased > Sony / ASUS / Xiaomi / Oppo / OnePlus are blocked
* Oz Telco Phones that switched to Rival Oz SIM are also banned
* Android System Fails > Before 2021 (27%) > After 2021 (73%)
* Supermarkets are not up with replacing the shit they sold ya...(Data credits!)
* Might sound weird but Telco will contact you Alright > Phone works fine for their Prompt!
* 4/5G users are getting cut out in areas where 3G filled the Gaps.
Note tbb is not up with this...but reckons this last one will piss Aussies off.
You could try Upgrading via the Telstra hold soundtrack...another happy customer!
Possibly the best ever telstra upgrade...What Plan is that...Hook tbb up to that Planet!
* This Rort has been goin' on for months now...Fuckin' sick of this shit! (Sounds Promising!)
* Telcos must stop telling customers that their perfectly compliant phone Clients need to upgrade!
* Telcos should agree on min utility compliance not Zone of Exotic Niche Markets
* Industry should be dragged kickin'n'screaming to fix problem of their own making! (Quit droolin'!)
* All know that's not gonna happen...(Why!) Coz PM is mandating Oz Made...he'd look the fool!
