Just another bare faced telstra lie. Telstra doesnt get to specify the date anymore.

Just another bare faced telstra lie.

The govt has changed the license condition so
telstra doesnt get to decide the date anymore.

Nothing like that SOON lie, you silly little pathological liar.

And if telstra didnt actually WANT any customers stranded,
its obvious how they can avoid that happening, fool.

Just turning the cdma system off doesnt stop it being active, fuckwit.

Just another bare faced telstra lie.

I obviously said that there is absolutely NO need to do anything until
Jan if you are actually stupid enough to buy this telstra lie, fuckwit.

Taint gunna happen if they wait till Jan and see how things are going, fuckwit.

Even telstra should be able to handle those migrating in Jan, fuckwit.

And if the govt or the ACCC has enough of a clue to tell telstra
that they arent allowed to turn the cdma system off EVER,
then they wont need to do a thing except cheer, fuckwit.

Even telstra should be able to handle those migrating in Jan, fuckwit.

I clearly said that it makes a lot more sense to wait till Jan
and see how the shit fight with the govt pans out, fuckwit.

I know hordes that use cdma and fuck all use cdma prepaid, fuckwit.
