Echo Voice & Data - Your Local Telstra Partner
Friendly professionals, helping you connect.
Echo Voice & Data was originally established as Leading Edge Telecoms Kempsey in the early 2000’s. In 2004, then owner and operator, Richard Fuller, moved the growing business from a single desk in the back of his Tandy Electronics store to a new shopfront on the main street of Kempsey.
Over the next decade many changes rolled out in the industry. Internet access moved from the unimaginable to a staple in most homes and businesses. Mobile phones got smaller and smaller. The CDMA network was closed and Next-G was introduced. Smartphones hit the market. Mobile phones got bigger and bigger. NBNCo announced plans for a new broadband network. Meanwhile, we’ve been here through it all.
In 2016, Rick’s daughter Tara took over the business where she had been working for the past 8 years.
In November 2017, a name change saw a new face for Leading Edge Telecoms Kempsey as Echo Voice & Data was born. With a new lease on life, the team at Echo are surging ahead bringing the latest technology and telecommunications services to the beautiful Macleay Valley.

There’s an important difference between a Telstra store and a Telstra partner. Telstra Corporation Ltd. is made up of many branches across the country—including Telstra Licensed stores, Telstra business centres and Telstra partners. Some stores are company-owned, however, in our case, we are a privately owned and operated Telstra-partnered store.
