Hi so i will be going to fraser island on Thursday and i was wondering if anyone has any experience with phone coverage with Telstra.
I have been reading a lot, some people say yes, some people say no. so i am confused.
I checked on instagram the hastag (#fraserisland) and started asking questions to everyone who had pictures up. (There is even a
check-in on
lake mcenzie) And most of the people with Telstra told me there is service. around MOST of the aera meaning they had service most of the time. One of them even told me "Yes mate im responding you from fraser island right now". Another guy told me that sometimes he didnt have service but since there are towers from telstra on the island he was able to get service a lot of times.
So i just want a little more clarification.
Thanks and this is the first time i post

Like a lot of "remote places" or fringe reception areas.
Coverage can depend on how good ya phone is and exactly where you are.
My current nokia, gets two bars and works fine in
places where my wifes samsung just wont play.
The locals will know where the coverage is.
A mate of
mine has moved to a town in the
brisbane valley..everybody goes to the cemetry to use their mobiles.....back in the day of anaolge phones the size of a brick....I was doing an aerial job on straddy.....the pager went off....the customer told me stand between that big
rock and the fire hydrant cover in the park across the road and you'll be
rock solid..sure enough.
When in doubt find a
hill.......coverage can come from
places you would not expect.
cheers
