[AusNOG] Telstra Wi-Fi calling on our network.

[Jamie Lovick]

Hi,

WiFi calling is a user configurable option. It's available on Optus,
Vodafone, and Tesltra. The OP's customer is paying the OP for Internet.
They've entered into a contract for provision of service. They should be
able to use that service within the terms and conditions.

I don't see why the OP would bother blocking something that a customer
using their network is paying for.
