Hi all,
My wife needs a new mobile phone, and as we are going to
Cape York in July, I would like to hear your recommendations for a suitable phone and network.
From what I've read, Telstra has the widest coverage, but do we go 3G or Next G.? Plan or Prepaid?
We are travelling with others, so other practical communications are covered (UHF, etc)
My question is only in regard to the phone.
However what other advantages are there with Next G vs older technology networks?
cheers
Gary

I'd only use Telstra in the bush.
Don't expect to get reception everywhere, but it will be wherever any other network is plus more.
Nokia phones are generally the easiest to use and strongest. Just get a basic phone and you'll find it'll have the best battery life. I don't think 2G, 3G or next G really matters as they will all work, though 3G/Next G is better for data transmission.
I'd recommend prepaid phones, as you pay as you go. Here is a Telstra link:

Goodluck
