Vodaphone and AAPT fit into your 'better in Capital cities and major country
centers only' category. They don't work at Temora, but will on the Newell
highway and Olympic Way.
Optus and Telstra have better coverage.

Why avoid the higher Telstra costs by carrying two phones and paying two
service providers, seems like false economy to me.
From my experience our radio networks work fine; if your out landing broadcast

No don't do that! Go get a SPOT tracker and use the SMS facility that goes
with it. It automatically sends your GPS co-ordinates and it works
everywhere. Please don't call up on 121.5 unless you are really in dire
straits.

Hi Adam.
In November '09 I purchased a new phone on the "3" network.
They have a number of phones that will roam onto the Next G system when not in
range of their own towers.
The beauty of this is that I only pay the expensive Telstra rates when using
their system & the cheap rates all other time
I'll second that. I carry a cheap Telstra prepaid in my outlanding kit in case
my Optus phone does not work.
If you can, get the bonus 'never expire' for the prepaid amount.
Forget Vodaphone.
Remember, you could always try the area frequency used by the power jocks, and
failing that, if your sit
JG is over for another year, and what a year it was.
After the last minute chance of venue, we ended up with flying and tasking
EVERY DAY of the comp (including two practice days), a total of eight
consecutive flying days. This had never been done before in the seven years
of JoeyGlide.
I use Telstra Next G and have had no problems with coverage at all, even get
coverage in Temora.

As far as I know, the Telstra network probably has the best coverage. But
in some places I have found Optus to have coverage where Telstra does not.
I have not consulted coverage maps recently though. Some low cost providers
also use Telstra or Optus networks, so one of these may suit you best.
Telstra (NextG) is by far the best for country coverage. Make sure your
phone supports the 850Mhz frequency for 3G (should say NextG on the box or
something similar). I bought a NextG one for 20$ from Dick Smiths.
I have a prepaid NextG and a prepaid Optus phone I keep in my glider, along

Hi All,
I'm looking at changing mobile phone networks. Does anyone know any details
on which networks have best coverage (especially country NSW where I do most
of my XC flying)? I understand that some networks are near useless outside
the CBDs and increase the chance of a long walk after an ou
