  @sanpellyenjoyer I swear that one in the teal shirt was Steve from Dell tech support. And the one next to him was Randy from Telstra

  @ChinaSelect @RepMoolenaar .@Telstra rebadge their phones, and they are junk. They refused to replace my A5 (2017) (the TIO made them give me 6 month credit to compensate after they shut down 3G/NextG). Vodafone gave me an A17 to replace it,after I was using it as a modem.

  @KobieThatcher It is same with Telstra Optus and Vodafone. Network monitoring is also done from India.

  @lostonabikeOz @RoadknightThe My telstra phone copped it despite receiving pretty much zero anything else on the cellular network here. Odd.

  Ookla: DIRECT-TO-DEVICE COMES OF AGE IN ASIA PACIFIC 🛰📲 Satellite direct-to-device (D2D) service, which enables smartphones to connect directly to satellites in areas lacking terrestrial coverage, is expanding rapidly across the Asia Pacific region. The region’s first carrier-run nationwide satellite texting service launched with New Zealand’s One NZ in December 2024. By mid-2026, six Starlink-based commercial services operated across four markets: One NZ, Telstra (Australia), KDDI/SoftBank/NTT Docomo (Japan), and Globe (Philippines, launched June 2026) Australia and New Zealand showed the highest activity. Detected users averaged 25.7 and 23.0 scans per month (Jan–Jun 2026)—near daily contact. Usage rose through the southern warm season (peaking in April) and fell in winter, reflecting outdoor recreation and remote work in coverage gaps. These levels far exceed denser markets like the UK (~4 scans/month) and match Canada’s high reliance. Philippines held the region’s largest detected D2D base (64% in Q2 2026), with activity detected from January 2026—months before commercial launch. Pre-launch growth reflected testing and opportunistic registrations. Population scale and disaster needs (e.g., earthquakes, ~20 tropical cyclones yearly) drive demand; Globe offered free access during a June 2026 Mindanao quake. Per-capita and frequency of use remained lower than Australia’s. Japan has the broadest free access (three operators) yet lowest sustained use. Detected base in June 2026 was about half its July 2025 level; users averaged only 7.6 scans/month. High urbanization and >99.9% population terrestrial coverage limit exposure to gaps. Operator figures (e.g., Docomo’s 5 million connected users) are higher but measure one-time connections across iOS/Android. Services function mainly as retention tools.
