Hello Telstra customers, I have always purchased my iPhones outright but use Telstra for better coverage travelling into country areas. I have found this information a little daunting and hard to believe 'why'. I have an iPhone 6 Plus arriving soon. I already have my Telstra Nano-SIM card ready.
iPhone 5S - iPhone 6 & iPhone 6 Plus - Are NOT Telstra ‘Blue Tick’ Rated "When you choose a ‘Blue Tick’ mobile, you can be sure that whether you’re in a regional area, country town or off the beaten track, you’ll experience the best possible coverage on the network without equal. It’s just another way we’re shaping our world around you, wherever you might live." <http://www.telstra.com.au/mobile-phones/mobiles-on-a-plan/#filter/brand/Apple/os/ios/features/blueTick,is4gx/plan/s/sort/featured> <http://www.telstra.com.au/mobile-phones/mobiles-on-a-plan/#filter/brand/Apple/os/ios/features/blueTick,is4gx/plan/s/sort/featured> —— "The current Apple models we have in Blue Tick are the iPhone 4s or the 5c. At this time it is confirmed that the new iPhone 6 range is not ‘Blue tick’ rated. In terms of if and when this will change, we have not been advised at this stage and (at this stage) I cannot give you any timeframe as to when they may be." — "Both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus have been tested and neither gained the Blue Tick rating. The rating is based on actual network performance, not manufacturer specifications.
