Hi Paul, I drove past a TA kiosk yesterday, as often happens these days, and in came a few new emails... There are a few TA hotspots on my regular train route but they are just out of reach when in the carriages. Next time I am waiting I will try and see just where on the platform I can access it. It helps to keep me just a bit more up to date with emails and other message types. There are plenty in the city so this has helped me.
In my setup period I needed some assistance from Telstra and a young female assistant in a shop with a TA kiosk outside wanted me to add a SIM to my iPad and change my plan ... I mentioned that to a subsequent visit to another store and they were appalled and laughed. Mike p.s. do I know you ( have I seen you at a LUV meeting ?)
