Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Telstra has launched a service on its 3G mobile networks that allows customers to use their mobile phones to find the nearest petrol station selling the cheapest fuel in selected metropolitan areas.
The My Fuel service is updated daily and reports on the price of petrol in suburbs in Sydney Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Gold and Sunshine Coasts. Data is provided by an independent organisation that reports prices for approximately 3,500 service stations across Australia.
Users can select a suburb or postcode and the type of fuel they are looking for. The search results provide fuel prices and the addresses of petrol stations in the requested area. A 'My Fuel Favourites' function gives regular price updates for selected petrol stations, allowing customers to monitor price movements on a daily basis. Telstra says it will look to expand the service over time.
My Fuel is available exclusively on Telstra’s 3G and Next G™ and is accessed through BigPond Mobile in the Info and Travel section. There are no fees to access the service over and above the standard data charges.
