Mobile coverage across the Nullabor

TomH,

Thx for the prompts response, where and how big are the gaps??

Cant remember Perhaps a look at your providers coverage map would tell you Or a ring to their support and ask them.

Coverage at Eucla and Madura that I know of.

We fired up the Satfone when leaving Norseman and used it to Ceduna.

The Telstra Coverage Map is here.

I found there is coverage at Balladonia, Caiguna, Eucla and Nullabor. There wasn't at Mundrabilla or Fraser Range van park. Don't know about other places. Of course an external antenna would improve coverage.

This is probably pretty hopeful but ...

And this is Telstra too

We went over and back last year and spent three nights in total camped on the side of the road, each night we had Telstra mobile coverage which allowed me to send & receive emails. I used Wikicamps with the filter set to Telstra mobile reception.

There were some stretches where there was no coverage but this would have been less that half the total distance.

Mundrabilla was an odd one for me. Very poor to non existent at the roadhouse itself but a few km west quite good.

Of course that was with telstra. Another carrier may not be as good.

Cheers.

We came across early May. For most of the way (with Telstra) data transmission was easily obtained and (as commented) voice communication at the roadhouses.
