Synopsis

TelstraClear is New Zealand’s second-largest full-service telecommunications company, providing products and services to the business, government, wholesale and residential sectors.

The company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Telstra, the largest telecommunications provider in Australia until when it announced in mid-2012 that it was selling TelstraClear to Vodafone New Zealand.

• Voice and data products;
