Telstra has delayed the shutdown of its 3G network until 31 August, in order to give customers people more time to upgrade their devices to enable them to make triple zero emergency calls. Currently around 400,000 devices are 4G enabled, but they still depend on the 3G network to make emergency calls. Federal Communications Minister Michelle Rowland has warned that some people may think their device is operating normally after August, but they will find it will not work when they try to make an emergency call if they have not upgraded it.
