  @OneNewsAu This is not new news, they have been trialing sms over starlink using Optus and Telstra OWNED spectrum for several years and its at least live fir SMS on Telstra. As soon as Starship is cleared for normal operations they can launch the larger v3 satellites which will support this function fully. The spectrum spacex purchased is not compatible with current phones regardless, and would require manufacturers to adopt that band for use so its not close to being usable nor launched.

  '[CBA] suggested customers switch connections to an Optus network or local wi-fi source. '[Tyro] was aware some people were unable to connect to payment machines that operate on 4G networks'.

  So we have another outage impacting 000 calls in Australia, this time by Telstra. This has already happened with Optus twice if I recall. Enough is enough. Renationalise Telstra and Optus, and give them all the funding needed to maintain, develop and expand our telecommunications infrastructure across Australia in the interests of the people rather than private and foreign shareholders. #auspol

  @col_colin1 @IncrediblyBozza I do agree with the cancel culture sentiment. However, he is the only person with a statue at Optus Stadium. I’d argue he didn’t get there for his services to football if Polly Farmer doesn’t have a statue?

  @FranMooMoo I’m in. Telstra and Optus have had the market monopoly for too long and wtf do we get for it? Excellent coverage in the Gold Coast and absolutely woeful phone reception in the entire rest of the country. Starlink will level the playing field nationwide.

  @FranMooMoo I wonder if his satellites can be used for mobile phone network? Mobile phone calls and text messages don't use much bandwidth unlike the internet, if he were to somehow make phones and they worked everywhere even in the desert Telstra Vodaphone, and Optus would go bust

  @VoteLewko @Starlink Ah, look, some competition! How terrible. Telstra and Optus will be forced to improve their services. Brrrrr

  @VoteLewko @Starlink It's about time for Optus and Telstra to go down the drain. Some of the worst and scammiest Australian companies. They charge you an arm and a leg for something that never works.

  @diggerdeegs I'm with Optus too. Maybe with Elon's phone service we'll be able to call 000 in an emergency 🙄
