‘Pretty archaic’: Calls for the introduction of new ways to contact triple zero

​Tech Guide Editor Stephen Fenech calls for new ways to contact triple zero to be introduced following Telstra’s outage. ​“It seems pretty archaic that the only way you can contact triple zero is through a phone network,” Mr Fenech told Sky News host Jaimee Rogers. ​“It is 2026; we should be able to text triple zero or contact them through WhatsApp or FaceTime or Messenger. ​“That way we are covered, so if we’ve lost our cellular connection, at least we’ve got our Wi-Fi, our broadband connection to then facilitate that call.”
