Peter,
I'd be very wary about Next G and the tick nonsense. I
switched to Next G last year before there was any real QC on the
part of Telstra. The bloke in the shop assured me that I would
have coverage "everywhere".
No.
I complained via the Telstra Complaints website and to me my
surprise I was contacted by a real person with actual information
and no bullshit. They offered me a ZTF as a "rural" ready tick
phone. A clunky hard to use piece of rubbish as a it turns out,
complete with extendable aerial which makes no diff.
I was told where NextG would NEVER work ( anywhere on the Great
Northern Highway between Dalwallinu and Mount Magnet, unless I
invested in an expensive long range external aerial or use a
satphone for e.g. - CDMA works fine there) And many other
places where few people live but roads carry large volumes of traffic.
The metro area? Fine he said. No sorry, its not, chunks of
the Hills are silent for Next G (Glen Forrest, Parkerville etc)
Caveat Emptor! Ask to see the coverage map.........
