Telstra has provided this Checker tool to help you understand when your device has been blocked as part of measures introduced by the Telecommunications (Emergency Call Service) Determination 2019.
The Checker only considers device compatibility for this reason and information is subject to change. Your device may not be compatible for a number of different reasons, and we cannot guarantee that a particular device will or will not be able to connect to the network for any other specific reason.
While we have used our best efforts, reasonable care and skill in compiling the Checker dataset, we do not represent or warrant that the data is accurate, reliable, complete, or up to date.
Please note that Telstra’s 3G network is now closed. If your device is identified as an impacted device you must upgrade your device to stay connected.
