Australians can feel confident when calling triple zero, Telstra has said, after a secondary issue on the network left hundreds unable to connect to the emergency hotline.

The day after the telco addressed a major outage, its customers continued to experience problems calling triple zero, with many receiving an error message as their phones attempted to connect to an alternative network.
