  🔴 PayphoneGo: 19-year-old built Pokemon Go for Australia's 14,000 payphones Kris Norris, a Brisbane student, launched PayphoneGo in April. Players call a number from payphones across Australia, enter a nine-digit ID, and accumulate points—20 for first visit, 10 for second, then 5 and 1. First visitors can leave voicemails heard by subsequent callers. Norris said the game aims to encourage exploration and revive "old internet: no ads, no tracking, so few cookies." Telstra operates the payphones under Australia's universal service guarantee. Calls have been free since mid-2021. The company reports over 100 million calls since fees were scrapped, with usage tripling.

  @Telstra How does the assessment process work? U&P doesn't apply from what I can see in that link, but a (very expensive) device appears to have basic paint/coating flaking issues, which should be able to be resolved.

  @Telstra It could be my device needs a restart but it could also be that the service you guys at Telstra actually provide doesn’t match what the sales reps and advertising promise

  @Telstra All I’m saying is maybe Telstra and other telco multi billion dollar companies should charge accordingly and stop using every capitalistic ***** trick to overcharge for normal service . Anyhow have a good day

  I've been letting @Telstra "augement" their💩network in the south west of Western 🇦🇺. They, Telstra, use my farm @Starlink for WiFi calling and the same on the road with Starlink Mini in my MYL. Perth-Denmark or Denmark-Albany is difficult to maintain a phone call link on mobile. Telstra should be paying me.

  @WhereMyOstrich @ausstockchick No need to respond in such a derogatory manner. Here is the list, I pulled this from Grok in app you can verify it easily. Recent major Australian companies announcing significant domestic layoffs and offshoring of corporate/white-collar roles — Woolworths, Officeworks, Telstra, and NAB — have timed these moves amid sharp rises in domestic employment costs. • Woolworths (early June 2026) is offshoring hundreds of head-office roles in IT, finance, and HR to India/Philippines as part of cost-cutting to stay competitive with Aldi and Amazon. • Officeworks (late May 2026) is shifting hundreds of support, customer service, and tech roles to Bengaluru and Manila, boosted by AI/automation. • Telstra (earlier 2026) cut hundreds of roles (up to 650 in rounds) with work moving offshore to India. • NAB has expanded offshore teams in India/Vietnam (adding 1,000+ roles) while managing Australian redundancies. This wave aligns closely with escalating domestic labour costs: The national minimum wage and award rates rose 3.5% from July 2025, superannuation guarantee hit 12%, and the Fair Work Commission announced further increases effective July 2026 (4.75% on awards, ~5.9–6% on the minimum wage to $26.44/hour). Combined with weak productivity growth, higher on-costs (payroll tax, workers’ comp, etc.), and strong wage pressures, this has widened the cost gap versus offshore locations where skilled roles can be 30–70% cheaper. Companies cite these factors — plus efficiency drives — as key reasons for prioritising offshoring while protecting or growing frontline retail/store jobs domestically. This reflects a broader 2025–2026 trend among Aussie firms responding to cost-arbitrage opportunities in a high-wage, lower-productivity environment.
