    Did you do a factory reset?

    Don't disable ipv6 on the Telstra modems or you will have problems

    If you mean by jumping in through a browser ? ..no I didn't. I don't want to upset telstra while they're supposedly fixing it.
    Anyway, what would that have to do with mobiles not getting through ?

    Today a mate rang the home phone from his mobile and got through. The wife and I are with tpg (which uses vodafone), my 2 boys are with optus, none of us can ring the home phone, but my mate with a telstra mobile can .... That's strange. Sounds like they've got the other networks blocked doesn't it ?

    That's why a factory reset and reload of the configuration may fix it.

    When the modem reconnects to Telstra it downloads the configuration for your "landline"

    Funny that they haven't thought to tell me to try that then.
    I'm going to ring them again tonight, I'll suggest that and see what they say. Then again I might try it anyway.

    and what's with this telstra air thing ? Is it worth activating ?

    So....is it factory defaults ???

    telstra air shares your connectikon with other telstra customers via wifi.

    nothing to worry about.

    als fon wifi will probably be active.

    Telstra rang me yesty arvo. She said she wanted to reset the modem to defaults. as you said hoe, but that didn't fix it.
    I then mentioned how only telstra mobiles can get through. She reckons that's caused by incorrect or incomplete porting making the account not setup properly. So I have to wait another week while they cancel my account and create a new one.
    That's just plain weird to me.

    What a crock! Back in the day (last century) when I was actually the tech on the end of the phone doing all the connections and disconnections. A fault like this would be reported and fixed within 24hours or questions would get asked. I'm talking about actually having to physically run cables and hardwire programming into equipment. Now, all it needs is one cable (at most) and a few short commands at a computer.............
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...

    That was when the person on the end of the line was in Australia, did the work, and KNEW what they were talking about. Now you're going through an overseas call centre operator who has never even seen an Australian service. Every response is scripted, and they can't deviate from it.

    Exactly... and I wouldn't mind betting my phone problem is prob just tick a box to enable it.....and up til now, I've had prob around 20 different telstra folks tell me they will fix my problems yet most haven't done a damn thing....They just lie. In any call I've made they say I'll put you on hold for a few minutes to quiz their "specialist team" (ha ha), and they'll do that several times. I'm almost certain all they're doing is switching to another customer and doing the same thing to them. Prob talking to 3 or 4 at the same time.
    At least the last call I got was from someone in the specialist team.
    It'll be interesting to see if they actually fix it this time.

    Well they obviously had no idea how to fix the phone problem. They're a bunch of jerks.
    The internet went off the other night. The next day I got a call from telstra saying the problem was the phone number was a complex number and needs to be a simple number for them to be able to use it. They reckon the complex number is used for business only or something stupid like that. They said they completely deleted my account (without telling me) and I have to contact my last isp to get the number changed then apply again to telstra for a totally new account.
    I did ring my previous isp. they checked and said there's nothing wrong with the number and it's sitting in a container ready to be used.
    I then promptly joined up with Aussiebroadband.

    So,,, a couple of days after that call I received another from a guy saying something about the phone number still being processed. Once again Arthur doesn't know what Martha's doing. I told him about the previous call letting me know the account was closed. I said I had paid the full bill but not received the full service and told him I'm going to another isp and to send a reply paid bag so I can send the modem back, he agreed.
    Next thing I received another bill, this time for the modem (190 odd dollars). haven't seen the bag yet.

    Many people have had major problems with phone when changing to NBN. I noticed a local business has lost its number after having it for 40 years....not sure what happened there, but Yow !
    My auntie with Telstra lost her phone for 3 months earlier this year..

    None of my friends on Telstra have had any issues.

    I am with Aussie Broadband, but would not have a phone and internet service with anyone such as Telstra or realistically anyone else. My home number is with Mynetfone and is plugged in to an ATA box which then plugs in to my modem/router.
    I am free to change to any internet provider I want whenever I want without worrying about the phone, as all the phone needs to work is an internet connection......any internet connection. It much much easier to have your phone and internet independent of each other.

    I also lost my number which I'd had for 40 years. I had TIO cases and ongoing fights with the providers, but to no avail. Phone number are "supposed" to be quarantined for 6 months after disconnection, but Telstra stole mine and gave it to someone else within 3 months. The TIO was absolutley useless. We had been with Dodo who were reselling a Telstra service, but that made absolutely no difference. The TIO would not have anything to do with Telstra and referred us to Dodo. Whenever we contacted Dodo, they could only go through the Telstra overseas call centre who would tell lies. They (Telstra) kept giving us record of conversation numbers and promises to raise an order, but the next time we would contact them after nothing happened within the scheduled time frame, they would deny that the record number existed. There were multiple times when the Dodo rep would conference us in with the Teltra call, and the call centre operator would not answer (just a period of silence) and then without any further action just drop the call. We were NEVER able to get to anyone in Australia, and it appeared that Dodo were in the same boat.

    I think the moral is to steer well clear of ANYONE who has a third party arrangement with Telstra.

    Sadly, jgm, it ain't only anyone who has a third party arrangement. Telstra, themselves, don't even know that they have a left hand, let alone what it is doing.
