If you sourced it outside Telstra, you are on the 900/2100mhz edition, so when Telstra ended their 3G deal with Three, you "lost" access to the 3G 2100 mhz network, you never were on Next G.
So now you are stuck on their SLOW 2G / Edge network, either buy a new phone now, or wait for the new Lumia 820/920 phones. -----Original Message----- From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com [mailto:ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com] On Behalf Of Tony Wright Sent: Monday, 17 September 2012 2:46 PM To: 'ozDotNet' Subject: RE: [OT] Really bad Telstra phone reception Ah yes, sourced outside Telstra, before we moved to Telstra. Is there a way I can fix it then? -----Original Message----- From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com [mailto:ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com] On Behalf Of Chris Walsh Sent: Monday, 17 September 2012 2:21 PM To: ozDotNet Subject: RE: [OT] Really bad Telstra phone reception Samsung Omnia 7 bought from Telstra?

I just re-registered it on the network and it's still showing Edge and sometime just bars (so generic 3G I guess). Of course, I'm in Fitzroy North, so only about 4 kms from the GPO so I would have thought the signal, and choices, would be better. I reckon they've decommissioned it for me, or whatever band it's using now is hopeless.
