Telstra are a great big bag of dicks.
I mean, we knew this already. But.
Apparently a learners permit isn’t “real” photo ID.
This is total bullshit because from a photo identification perspective there is no legal difference between a learners and a full license.
so anyway Telstra won’t sign me up for anything unless I go in with a passport or full license.
legally this is total fucking bullshit but whatever
WHATEVER TELSTRA
I guess I’ll see about staying with Three/Vodafone :/ see if I can get a new phone through them… I really wanted better coverage though.
fucking bag of dicks telstra
even if I could go do it? not going to now, on principle.
fffffff
I don’t even WANT a new phone, I hate mobile phones and I’d rather just never have one ever again but unfortunately life doesn’t work that way.
Any state license within expiration is valid federal level photo identification, the person that told you that is FULL OF SHIT.
They’re also required to accept 18+ cards.

Yes, seconded. Best response to shenanigans like that is “I’d like to speak to your manager, thank you”.

Telstra is so expensive anyway. Their better coverage isn’t worth the extra cost, at least to me anyway. Optus are shite too but they are better than telstra and WAY better than vodafail. :( It’s so fucking hard to get a phone here! Fuck this country
