<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our original deployment for Ipv6 Single-Stack in Feb 2020
was rolled back in March/April 2020 due to COVID and some minor compatibility issues.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">These compatibility issues have been resolved by our
technical teams.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are now re-starting the deployment in SA in a phased
approach.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are aiming to complete the rollout in SA by 1<sup>st</sup>
of December.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The scope of this change will impact non-Android devices
that are using the latest version of the operating system, either out of the
box or through an OS update. <br>
It will also impact Android devices which are configured for Telstra.wap and
manually configured for dual-stack.</p>
