The rules of what constitute mobile reception and reach look set to change this year, and the result could make more sense for why calls drop out when you're in areas where it shouldn't. https://www.pickr.com.au/news/2026/real-world-usability-set-to-define-mobile-coverage #news #phones #telcos #4g #5g #acma #telstra #tpg #vodafone

Due to our youth social media ban stuff in AU, the ACMA has blocked access to ACMA Assist to little humans under 15 years of age as they can't get a digital ID.

Youth access to ACMA Assist

Show threadeurozerozeroNov 27

Got another spam from another Aussie retailer, this time from Frank Green, who I’ve purchased from before but deliberately opted out of their offers. Yet, here I am, getting spam from them.

Reported to ACMA.

In the past year it’s as though Australian retailers collectively decided that they’re just going to add all of their customers to their promo lists, even if they’d already opted out.

it is incredibly hard to block call centres calling for someone else on my number whom I don't know because ACMA wants the business name of the caller and the product they are selling and the business selling the product - I keep telling the call centre wrong number and they keep ringing me over and over again and not deleting my number from that other person's name - very frustrating and annoying - the call centre keeps changing its number every call so I can't block them - there's got to be a better way to get customers than harassing half the population via call centres - it's always Indian call center operators - it's usually about cheaper power bills, ISPs, life insurance #callcentres #marketing #australia #wrongnumber #indian #spammers #coldcalling #ACMA #powerbills #isp #lifeinsurance

Australians can't trust the triple-0 network after 13-hour Optus outage results in deaths

The Optus failure is shocking and no doubt a massive fine and other sanctions could be on the way, but experts say it raises further questions.
