We're writing to update you on upcoming changes to your mobile plans, previously communicated in mid-June. There have been slight adjustments to the timeline, so please review this information carefully.
Timeline Adjustments:
Key Changes:
Why The Changes?
Telstra Wholesale is optimizing its mobile plan offerings to remain competitive while balancing costs.
Legacy Plan Migration & Decommissioning:
Due to these changes, the deadline for migrating off legacy and ALL MNF Plans (including 1GB, 3GB, 10GB) plans is extended to November 27th, 2024. After this date, any remaining customers will be automatically moved to the closest equivalent plan.
Important: To avoid additional charges, service providers should schedule plan changes for the 27th of the month, coinciding with the end of the billing cycle.

Dear Service Providers,
As you may be aware, NBN Co's ("NBN") variation to its Special Access Undertaking (SAU) includes modifications to its product and pricing structure, establishing new industry standards for wholesale pricing. This includes annual price adjustments, which have been applied by our supplier, Superloop.
Consequently, Telcoinabox will pass on the Superloop NBN price adjustments to you. This includes both price increases and decreases passed through from Superloop.
The below pricing adjustments will be applied to your current nbn plan prices.
Please be aware that the price reduction will only apply to unlimited plans; speed plans with GB inclusion or those under “PROMO” will not receive a price decrease.
The new updated prices, for both increases and decreases, will take effect in the billing cycle starting on, or after 28th August 2024 (Billing statement 264).
Please ensure you inform your end customers of any pricing modifications you wish to implement.
Thank you for your continued partnership and trust in Telcoinabox, part of Symbio.
Kind regards
Telecoinabox

We wanted to provide you with an update on the migration of the old KB to the new Assist Knowledge Base.
What is happening?
We have successfully migrated all of the relevant KB articles to the Assist Knowledge Base, and you should use Assist as the latest source of information. We have also included the old KB reference number in the metadata for the new Assist article, which will be searchable to help ensure a smooth transition.
We are aware that there is an issue with the search bar on the Assist home page as some search terms are producing unexpected (limited) results. Note that this issue does not exist when you search within the Knowledge Base module.
As a result, we have decided to temporarily replace the search field from the home page with a link directly to the knowledge base whilst we work on fixing the issue. You will be able to carry out your search normally from within the Knowledge Base.
We will be deploying an upgraded version of Assist along with other improvements in the coming weeks. In this new version the Knowledge Base search field will be restored, and you'll see improvements in the User Interface and the search capabilities.
Key dates
We will be removing the search bar from the Assist home page in our deployment on the evening of 12 June.
We will be redirecting the old KB to the new Assist Knowledge Base from 18 June.
If you have any questions or concerns about the migration process, please do not hesitate to reach out to your Account Manager.
Thanks for your patience and understanding, we look forward to bringing you the new version of Assist with increased and improved capabilities and features.
We are thrilled to announce the upcoming debut of our reimagined customer portal on May 15th. This enhancement is the culmination of extensive research and development, designed to elevate your operational capabilities and enrich the service experience you provide to your customers.
Advanced Security and Accessibility:
Unmatched Security: At the heart of our portal's architecture lies robust security measures including multi-factor authentication, secure API communications, and comprehensive end-to-end encryption, ensuring that every interaction is protected.
Optimised for All Devices: Whether your customers are on the go or at the office, our fully responsive portal adapts seamlessly to smartphones, tablets, and desktops, offering an optimal experience across all platforms.
Enhanced Portal Features:
Streamlined Service Management: Customers can effortlessly manage mobile, fixed voice, and data services through an intuitive, easy-to-navigate interface.
Personalised User Experiences: With advanced customisation options, including white labelling capabilities, you can create a portal that reflects your brand identity, enhancing customer loyalty and satisfaction.
Comprehensive Billing and Payments: The portal facilitates a simplified billing process, allowing users to view, download, and pay their bills with ease, and modify billing information in a secure environment.
Future Enhancements:
Continued Innovations: Looking forward, we are excited to expand the portal's capabilities further. Upcoming features will include real-time metrics for NBN outages, the online status of NBN routers, and eSIM activation for mobile services, all aimed at reducing support call volumes and enhancing your operational efficiency.

Dear Service Providers,
In this edition of our Quarterly Newsletter, you’ll find updates on our Roadmap, which include exciting new releases as well as upcoming features and products on the horizon.
Mobile is growing up with new 5G pooling plans scheduled for release in September.
We also welcome Microsoft Teams Unite Calling Self-Managed, a new way to enable Voice Calling in Microsoft Teams.
On the compliance front Telcoinabox also announces our endorsement of the Communications Alliance Industry Guideline G660:2023 “Assisting Consumers Affected by Domestic and Family Violence”, developing policy and procedures that address the concerns it raises.
Telcoinabox has undertaken the work required to enact suggested number suppression, to not itemise calls to 1800RESPECT and its associated mobile number (0458 737 732) on phone bills issued to our customers, to reduce the risk of a perpetrator being alerted to the victim-survivor’s call. This work is scheduled for completion by June 30, 2024.
