Strange web address for telstra

Have received SMS messages from telstra with links to "https://tel.st". The link takes you to telstra.com.au sites. The domain suffix ".st"  is for São Tomé and Príncipe. Have even seen this link in the crowd support posts. Can anyone explain as I've assumed these messages are scams.

No. They are real. Telstra uses the tel.st domain for shortened addresses.

Never be afraid to back yourself when trying new things, just always make sure you have 3 escape routes if things go wrong.

Nice of Telstra to let us know. Wonder how many people have just deleted these messages on the same suspicions I had?

They have been using that domain for quite a few years now.
