Telstra Phones


Telstra GE PhoneTelstra Oricom PhoneTelstra T1000S Phone



Over the long years of it's domination of the Australian communications industry, Telstra has sold many types of telephone. These have ranged from a variety of analogue home and pabx handsets through to the complex Commander keystations.


Commander Keysystems

Due to the large range of these systems, I have created a separate page for compatibility of Commander telephones.



Please Note: The model number of your telephone can usually be found on a label stuck on the bottom of the phone.
