Telstra’s national Next G™ (850Mhz) network

Our new Next G (850Mhz) network is more than 100 times larger than any other 3G network in Australia, and covers 99 per cent of the Australian population.

It brings to all those within its coverage area, access to an exciting and growing range of 3G products and services that will give Australians more ways to do more things - at faster speeds and in far more places than ever before. We are continuing to expand and when completed, Next G will provide coverage to more Australians than any other mobile network.

Additionally, you’ll be able to access voice and SMS mobile services in more than 140 countries overseas.

It means all city and country mobile customers who purchase a handset for use on Next G, will have access to traditional mobile phone calls or our new video calling and entertainment services.

Like any other mobile network, Next G mobile telephone coverage depends in part on where you are, what particular handset you are using and whether your handset has an external antenna attached.
