Unfortunately you're playing roulette there - I've found that about 1 in 4 of the support techs know about it. Best route is to get through to business activations, and ask them to activate the extranet APN for you - if they don't know about it, ask to be transferred to the extranet team. All else fails, hang up and try calling again :) -----Original Message----- From: Public [mailto:public-bounces@talk.mikrotik.com.au] On Behalf Of Paul Julian Sent: Wednesday, 13 May 2015 3:42 PM To: 'MikroTik Australia Public List' Subject: Re: [MT-AU Public] 3G/4G with static public IP And if we don't have a half decent account rep..... :-) I will try the monkeys and see what happens Thanks Paul -----Original Message----- From: Public [mailto:public-bounces@talk.mikrotik.com.au] On Behalf Of Thomas Jackson Sent: Wednesday, 13 May 2015 3:34 PM To: 'MikroTik Australia Public List' Subject: Re: [MT-AU Public] 3G/4G with static public IP Yep, that's correct. You need Telstra to enable extranet access on that service first though. If you have a half-decent account rep, just get them to add the code GPTEXB3 to your service, power cycle, and you should be up and running within 15 mins. -----Original Message----- From: Public [mailto:public-bounces@talk.mikrotik.com.au] On Behalf Of Paul Julian Sent: Wednesday, 13 May 2015 3:21 PM To: 'MikroTik Australia Public List' Subject: Re: [MT-AU Public] 3G/4G with static public IP Thanks Thomas, so are you saying if we just change the APN we will get a dynamic public IP instead of the dynamic private IP which gets NAT'd ? If so that would definitely be a solution with DynDNS like you have done.

To get a static via Telstra you need to have a IP WAN with a mobile gateway service and then a certain # of mobile data services, which you can then assign ip's to etc etc. so it's just not really an option without the other infrastructure. You can get a dynamic public IP via their "Telstra.extranet" apn which you can call and ask for but not a static. You'll either need to make do with Telstra and a dynamic ip or use an alternate provider like hutchison or a reseller (I think there was one called beagle telecom that did fairly decent plans with static ip's) -----Original Message----- From: Public [mailto:public-bounces@talk.mikrotik.com.au] On Behalf Of Paul Julian Sent: Wednesday, 13 May 2015 12:29 PM To: public@talk.mikrotik.com.au Subject: [MT-AU Public] 3G/4G with static public IP Hi guys, is anybody currently using a 3G/4G mobile sim in a router/device that has a static public IP ? I can't find anybody in Telstra who actually realises that they sell such a plan so can't get any traction on it even though I know that people definitely have them and use them. Can anybody tell me how to order such a service ?
