Last year I went to the
Darwin Telstra
shop, I traded 2 old phones for 2 new one on the next G network.
Now it seems daily people whinge bitch moan complain about the network.
I walked into the
shop told the girl where I live and said I want the best phone for the job, leaving her in no doubt about what I wanted, She changed them with 2 LG 500s and suggested that we get the external aerial, all up I walk out the door satisfied I was looked after.
Most of you are aware of my resent trip, It was 12300 km in length and out of that 12300 km I had reception for approx 97% of the time, in fact I was
well impressed and I certainly had more reception than the parts of the trip I did last year with the CDMA.
The only place I had no reception for any length of time was from
Quilpie to
Lyndhurst and from
Lyndhurst to
Marla, mostly because I was told that SANTOS would not allow mobile reception in their area ( not sure how true this is ).
While in that area I used my Globalstar phone ( now I have had trouble with it at times) but on this occasion I used it 5 times and had no problems at all each time.
So I am more than happy with my Telstra products, as for Globalstar in the North I will wait and see.
