Can I still make an emergency Triple Zero (000) call through Telstra if I don’t upgrade my 3G mobile device before 28 October 2024? 

No, as Telstra will no longer have 3G mobile coverage from 28 October 2024. 

Mobile devices have special roaming capabilities when calling Triple Zero (000). In instances where another carrier has 3G coverage, you may still be able to make a 000 call. However, it’s important to note that other carriers are likewise closing their 3G network in similar timeframes to Telstra. 

Telstra strongly encourage all customers to ensure that they have a 4G/5G VoLTE capable and compatible device before 28 October 2024.
