Fk you Telstra

Yep, that’s the ones who use the wholesale network. Boost and I believe Belong, have access to the whole retail network, and boost got access to 5G as of a few days ago……if that matters.

But can Boost and or Belong use VOLTE now? If not then they definitely don't have the ability to connect to every small cell.

Don’t know about Belong, but Boost certainly can

What is VoLTE and how can you get it in Australia?

While 4G has been great for download speeds, when it comes to the original, now all but extinct purpose of phones, which is making phone calls - we have been stuck using old tech. VoLTE changes that.

“Currently, the only Telstra MVNO that allows WiFi and VoLTE calling is Boost Mobile.”

I'm with boost for that reason it's full Telstra network, not the wholesale network for all the MVNOs that use their cells. $300 for the year 300GB but buy a Sim on eBay for $250. It's the best value I've found for full Telstra network. VoLTE is active on mine and wifi calling. It's legit.

A few years ago when I looked into cheaper prepaid plans for the kids mobiles I found most of the alternative retailers that ran on the Telstra network had in the small print that they used 'parts of the Telstra Network', or words to that effect.
Belong was the only one that I found had a coverage map that was basically Identical to Telstra's coverage for 3g & 4g.

Yeah I’m with “Belong”

Belong is Telstra owned. The coverage matches the other MNVOs however (exception of Boost)

Belong is Telstra owned.

Correct but Belong is run as a completely independent entity. Telstra take no responsibility for Belong's total lack of any form of customer service.

I'm not surprised, considering Telstra do the same to their own customers.
