Vodaphone does have 100% coverage but only with regard to their satellite service - ie you need a
Satellite Phone. These are excellent and will work anywhere (except inside) but a little expensive, not only to purchace ($1000+) but also to run (ours is $75 month + some free calls). All carriers (telstra, optus, vodaphone)have coverage maps showing the areas of service for their respectice Digital and CDMA phones(some are a bit optimistic)so check these out. None have
Australia wide coverage. Have you considered a
HF radio and
membership to the A4WDRN (http://4wdclubs.sofcom.com/au/an4wdrn)Regards Greg
