'''[[Wikipedia:Telstra|Telstra Group Limited]]''' is Australia's largest telecommunications provider, offering a wide range of services including mobile, broadband, and fixed-line telephony to the Australian market. As of the latest data, Telstra supports approximately 22.5 million retail mobile services and 3.4 million fixed data services. <ref>Telstra - About Our Company - 2025-01-14: https://www.telstra.com.au/aboutus/our-company</ref><ref>Telstra Group Limited - Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telstra</ref>

Since 28 October 2024, Telstra has focused exclusively on providing 4G LTE and 5G mobile services, having phased out its 2G and 3G networks. In the competitive Australian mobile network market, Telstra's main rivals include Optus, owned by Singtel, and TPG Telecom, which operates the Vodafone brand.

Originally established as a government-owned entity under the name Telecom Australia, Telstra underwent privatization and became a fully private company by 2006. It is currently listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) as a publicly traded company.

Telstra launched the 'Belong' brand in 2013 as a low-cost mobile and internet services provider and acquired Boost Mobile (Australia) in 2024. 

Whilst Telstra's primary market is Australia, it has also moved into the international markets in Europe, Asia and the United States.
