I've used a Samsung cheapo Next G network phone from Perth all the way to Bunbury - if your phone won't do the coverage, then borrow a Next G network phone from someone else and try the network out. I've even used the Next G network to log on to Bigpond in the car (as a passenger) and it worked on the road to Bunbury also. You can buy prepaid Next G network phones.
Besides learn about the technology - Next G network uses WCDMA850 technology - notice the letters CDMA in WCDMA850.... now I wonder why.
Close the CDMA network Telstra and get on with spending the money on the Next G netowork improvements to coverage and capacity - wasting the cash on trying to keep the CDMA network on-air for a small bunch of complainers is simply not worth it.
