CDMA Phones

Myer

maybe you should move hahaha

After watching the report on Sol Tiheo's background last night you'd be
seriously put off on having anything to do Telstra.

Hampton park post office is a slow moving operation which still
had the 2112 a week or two ago.

Seen these advertised recently at $69 with 6 months access which
with Telstra's recent 300% pre-paid price rise means that it was
cheaper to buy the phone, than to be given one for free and put in
a 6 month access card.

Sure Aussie Post has them, or try Ebay

You need to be carefull buying a CDMA phone as CDMA is to be phased out over the next 12 months or so and be replaced by the new generation 3 phone that will not work on CDMA

I got a new CDMA phone last week only had 5 phones to pick from.

Was told will be given new phone and contract free when it's shut down 2007-2008

Truckster, I've been going through the same dramas. I was told that the main Telstra shop in Frankston is the only one in Melb still selling CDMA so jump in there. I tried to phone them but got directed to a Telstra Help number that couldn't help me at all. Let usknow how you go.

The Telstra Online shop has three CDMA phones

Telstra isn't keeping phones in shops because they don't want to promote them.

The LG TD6100 can do Data at 14400bps and has camera.

in Sydney, I found fonezone helpful. and telstra not.

My wife and I each have a Telstra prepaid CDMA. When we have used up all the money on them, which incedently only lasts for two months instead of the previous six months we ar going to use our old 3810 GSM phones with Virgin. The 3810 is a no gimicks phone. No camera, MP3 player or what. Well may be I don't have the range of a CDMA phone but Virgin give me six months on my card not two as with Telstra.
I gave Telstra the flick some months ago for land line services. Although I have to pay $33.50 for land line fees (Telstra's idea which has been chalenged with the CCC) I am more than satisfied with my presant provider. If it wasn't for my PC I would have the fixed line disconnected.
When they (the powers that be) and sack Sol I wonder what his payout will be?????

Look - if we are going to bag someone, we should get him right - "Solomon Trujillo" (tru-hee-oh)............


Me ? I hate him !...... what with CDMA being phased out in a year or so - its been great service - reliable - good coverage - got a good phone (Kyocera 3245) - and he has to go and spoil it all.

when my mobile came up for renewal, i stuck to my old phone. They tried to flog me a new one because if you're contracted to them with a CDMA at the time of the changeover, they have to supply a new phone.

I think you're right. they don't have to, but with all the competition about, they feel they have to.

Have you tried that Crazy John at Broadmeadows ....if he is still there ,probably get confronted with more morons though, you think like i do about phones , Phones are Phones, I got a good Camera, and I play my music on the car radio....Oh yeh and viabrators are viabrators and how vome you know so much about Vibrators....and like you I don't want all the other crap either

Truckster,

May be of liitle value to you but on one of your next club trips, drop into a country phone shop. They still know where their revenue comes from and will generally still stock CDMA regardless of all the crap going on in the city.

Got mine in Mildura, (Telstra shop), and they had heaps in the back room waiting to go,
