Update - Telstra will reopen the remainder of complex CAT-C porting (Telstra as the Losing Service Provider) on the 18th of May. Telstra’s priority will be to clear the backlog of requests that were in-flight prior to the 25th March, when LNP activity was paused. Whilst Telstra’s priority is to clear the backlog as quickly as possible, they have advised they will only have very limited capacity (~10%) on new incoming requests while they work on clearing the backlog.

As such, we anticipate there will be significant delays, which will not only impact those port requests which have been on hold, but also any new port requests submitted after 25 March.

Between now and the 18th of May, Telstra is upskilling/retraining existing staff as part of their new onshore team to manage complex CAT-C porting. In addition, Telstra is recruiting external staff to further increase their porting capacity. At this stage, we have been advised Telstra expects to resume BAU porting in mid-July.
