Is your Telstra device about to become obsolete?

It appears mine might be. See the image below.

Telstra is phasing out it's old combined 3G 2100MHZ service which was a shared service with Vodafone.

As a result earlier devices may not be compatible or may require an update.

Telstra currently operated 2 networks, the Next G network and the 3G 2100 network shared with Vodafone Australia. Although you may be already using a device that is capable of operating on the Next G network it may still be configured to access the 3G 2100MHZ network which is being phased out.

The 30th August is the drop dead date for the old service.

If you want to check if your old phone or tablet is compatible see the information page which includes a link to the online device identifier tool which can perform this check for you.
