Telstra is under severe pressure in Australia after admitting that a secondary fault hit Triple Zero calls even after it claimed that a major network outage had been resolved.
The Telstra outage, which began in the early hours of 8 July, knocked out mobile and data services nationwide, disrupted rail operations and left some emergency calls failing to connect. By 9 July, the company said most services were back up and running, and a new fix was in place for Triple Zero issues, but it confirmed that 639 welfare checks had been conducted after failed calls.
