Live and work in rural Australia? See the list of phones Telstra recommends for rural areas.

[Update: Telstra has announced the first 4G Blue Tick phones. It is "transitioning" voice calls from its 3G network to 4G, and planing to end 3G services in June 2024].

If you have ever shopped for a phone with Telstra then you may have come across talk of a “Blue Tick" phone or noticed the reference on select smartphone boxes.

For example, Blackberry just announced that their new Blackberry Z10 now has the Blue Tick from Telstra.

The Blue Tick means that Telstra recommends the phone for rural coverage. Consider using a Blue Tick phone if you intend on using your phone in rural areas.
