MEDIA RELEASE
Third mobile service provider coming soon
Telecom and TelstraClear today announced the signing of a commercial agreement that will allow TelstraClear to provide a new nationwide mobile service.
The agreement will see TelstraClear launch its own TelstraClear mobile service later this year, providing a unique range of mobile services, bundles and prices via the Telecom network.
The agreement was signed this morning by Telecom acting CEO Simon Moutter and TelstraClear Chief Executive Dr Allan Freeth.
Dr Freeth says the agreement is great for customers, enabling choice without the need to build a new mobile network.
“Our customers can look forward to a unique TelstraClear service, with new TelstraClear branded handsets, bundles and pricing plans that are different to those offered by other players today,” says Dr Freeth.
“The fact that Telecom and TelstraClear can come to a commercial agreement like this is something that will really benefit customers, and quickly.”
Telecom acting CEO Simon Moutter says the agreement is also a positive move for the wider telecommunications industry.
“This is an example of individual providers working together effectively to ensure best outcomes for customers,” says Mr Moutter.
TelstraClear will launch its new mobile service later this year, with details provided closer to the time.
The service will mean customers can enjoy the benefits of a single bill from one provider delivering all their voice, data and mobile services.
