Telecommunications company, Huawei, showcases its LTE network in a shipping container

Vodafone has upgraded its voicemail system opting to drop Unisys in favour of Acision, the same provider VHA partner, Hutchison, uses for its ‘3’ customers.

Vodafone Hutchison Australia (VHA) has played down the suggestion that its decision to make calls to selected charities free is little more than an effort to put a positive spin on what has been a troubled three months for the merged telco.

Telstra has set about assessing the initial impact of cyclone Yasi on its network and the safety of its staff in North Queensland.

Vodafone and 3 will waive a month’s worth of mobile bills of customers in 25 of the worst affected areas in the current Queensland floods.

Following a three month investigation, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has given the greenlight for the merger of Vodafone and Hutchinson to go ahead.
