Telco TPG has been fined $400,000 for failing to provide access to emergency numbers for customers who had not paid bills.

Federal Court Justice Mordecai Bromberg on Wednesday found TPG failed to give access to triple-0 and 112 on more than 190 occasions between March and September 2011.

He also found the company did not ensure that almost 6000 lines had access to emergency numbers over that period.

A software upgrade at TPG in 2011 barred all outgoing calls, including to emergency numbers, made from suspended and inactive accounts.

The error was discovered when a woman was barred from calling an ambulance for her sick husband from her home phone in September 2011.

The man suffered a heart attack and because of poor mobile phone reception, his wife could not relay important details about his condition.
