Australia Post scam hitting SMS, how can you tell it’s a scam
Aug 9, 2019 · Provided the SMS service a scammer is using has the option for a send name, they can send it out using a familiar name. In fact, if you have already received messages from that name, your phone will combine them all, helping the ruse. But there is one thing you need to pay attention to in order to prove the message is a scam: the URL or domain.
Telstra boosts WiFi at home (but only if you’re a customer)
A few years into EasyMesh, those devices have been few and far between in Australia, but they can be found if you look. Locally, Telstra’s Smart WiFi Booster Gen 3 is a $288 outright purchase, but it can be found for $12 per month for two years, though it will only work with Telstra broadband subscribers with a Telstra Smart Modem.

If my phone doesn’t have NFC, how can I pay with my phone?
Feb 5, 2019 · Ultimately, if you’re curious whether your phone will support a Near-Field Communication, try swiping down on your Android phone from the top to pull up the power options control, and seeing whether there’s one for “NFC”.

Why random international numbers are calling you – Pickr
Mar 7, 2021 · Essentially, calling back one of these long random international numbers will likely have someone on the end of the line telling you to hold on, that they’ll find the person calling you, that there’s an emergency they need your help for, and so on and so on and so on. It’s phone call fraud, and a model that can see you spend serious ...

Jul 2, 2021 · Tested on the Telstra 5G network in Sydney, Australia, the Samsung Galaxy A32 5G managed to hit speeds just shy of 500Mbps, speeds that we’ve not always seen from other 5G phones, mid-range or flagship.

How an NBN scam can appear convincing (and why it’s not)
That’s Google, not you. However this very specific search gives scammers the script to convince you that your NBN has been compromised, because the on-screen IP location is coming up as Mountain View, California, not where you live in Australia. It’s important to note that this clearly isn’t you, because this is Google, and scammers know ...
Oppo A94 5G review (CPH2211) – Pickr
Sep 8, 2021 · The Oppo A94 5G offers a marginally more premium take on the range. 5G shouldn’t cost an arm and a leg, and last year we saw proof of that finally happening, as the technology made its way under the $1000 mark. This year, it’s even more affordable, as 5G smartphones approach the $500 mark and even under that. However as nice as it is to ...
Review: Samsung Galaxy S10+ (SM-G975F) – Pickr
The not-so-good. Camera loses details in low-light. AI camera needs work. Front-camera holes will irritate folks with OCD. Battery life could be better. Curved touchscreen picks up on extra screen touches fairly often. Fingerprint scanner isn't always great. Packing three cameras, a big and slightly curved screen, a lot of performance, and a ...
