Every year in the lead up to Christmas there is a spike of second hand mobile phone sales online. Online scams are on the increase across all digital platforms. Don't be caught out. ow.ly/QJV750M2HH6

Thinking of buying a 2nd hand phone this Christmas? You may want to think again. There is always an elemnt of risk because the phone may have been reported lost or stolen and be blacklisted. Always check the IMEI number before you buy. ow.ly/LxOT50LX2Pl

A new governance framework is coming for the TDR with more autonomy and an increased emphasis on public awareness. That’s important because not all telcos belong to the TDR scheme and it’s a vital part of the relationship between telcos and customers. ow.ly/8n8950LROXq

It's your chance to input on the way @ChorusNZ roll out fibre. How important is speed versus reliability? How about closing the digital divide by extending fibre to more communities? Take the survey and have your say. #broadband #fibre #tcfnz bddy.me/3tUEH7f
