[AusNOG] Telstra mobile issues again?

[Joshua Cameron]

Yes, I believe you have to manually call and declare yourself.

I found out about not being able to call 000 yesterday from the news, and then I saw on Telstra’s Twitter after I heard their Outage page was down.
I’d suggest this is where people are learning they’re not able to call 000.
In cities your phone will fail over to other carriers, as they’ve said, however in rural where Telstra is the only mobile coverage you’re under a bit of extra risk during the outage.

“A reminder that during an interruption of this nature, calls to 000 using a Telstra mobile will connect over other carriers’ networks where carriers have mobile coverage”
“Calls to 000 will connect over other carriers’ networks where they have mobile coverage”

So when people say they've lost 000, how do they know?
Furthermore, you obviously don't want the entire industry checking their 000 upon an announced 000 outage.

Kind regards

Last I looked, the process required contacting 000, and advising them you were testing. Because the process was designed for minimal interruption, it wasn't possible to automate.
So when people say they've lost 000, how would you know without actually calling?

Of course, back in the day, 000 was such that you didn't need automated tests. A test upon service commission was all that was necessary.

Appears to be widespread, saw several of our IoT Telstra SIM's go offline at the same time. Personally I lost all connectivity to emergency calls only and still have no 3G/4G data (but can call and SMS out)
