i work for optus business

OB

I would strongly recommend against going with Optus. Optus has terrible coverage! I have been with optus for about 5 years and not much at all has changed and am looking forward to going with Telstra.

I need coverage at clubs/bars, Sporting events, other social events such as the show, NYE. I get terrible coverage with all these places. Even in my house I have to go outside to make a phone call!

I recently got a work phone with the provider being Telstra. I had no such problems at any of the locations as mentioned!

You probably want your daughter to have a phone for safety reasons. Well there's no point of her having a phone if she can't actually use the phone due to no coverage!

Garbage......I don't know the technicalities of it, pretty sure it has to do with the overlapping signals of towers, but Optus' "Coverage" is not without it's holes.

Even in major cities, no-one has a service anywhere near as reliable and strong as Telstra.

That said, they ARE overpriced (but they're getting better).

But you get what you pay for.

As KingJames said, if it's for safety reasons, you want every bit of reliable coverage you can get.

I use vodafone for work.....it suits our business needs and I love it. Great customer service too.

I would never use anything other than Telstra when it comes to my kids, especially for the safety aspect. Their customer service sucks but their product is the best going around.

Thanks for everyones feedback.

To be honest i have been with Optus for more than 10 years (oh my god...have they been around that long??) and have never had a signifcant problem, so the carrier isnt a big isue for me.

I am more interested in price and phone choice

agreed dicko, and i work for them,

comes down to what you NEED it for, from that point you should then determin which carried suits your NEEDS

dont get caught up in the whole they have we have.


to put the record straight that % given is innacurate

its currently 96% vs 98% but thats of "populated" areas

allthough by dec 09 optus will match TS but ill sit back and wait and see

The carrier is the key. I'll drag out out a snippet of my last season's memorabillia, & school you on my mobile dumbness. I've been with Vodafone from day 1 & experienced absolutely zero signal within the Dome. No biggy.
Then last season things changed. I was spending more time there, & figured my 2 line monographic display, dead signal mobile had passed it's used by date. Doing some sleuthing, I noticed a lot of the guys used Samsungs, so I put 2 & 2 together & fell flat on my ugly face. Yep, lashed out for a fancy arsed Samsung (thinking it would have kick-arse sensitivity & could pull a signal). WRONG. WRONG. WRONG. HUGE mistake. Same zero signal. : (
I've since suited up in my Today Tonight nice guy outfit & scouted people using their mobiles during game breaks & invariably they were on Telstra.
I'm aware that Telstra generously did a complete network make-over at the Dome & that WOULD explain their superior signal, but in my crude analysis. If a reliable signal is a high priority, GO WITH TELSTRA, they spend the money on coverage.
In a nutshell, if you have ANYONE dear to you & want the peace of mind/assurity that they can get to you at any time, TELSTRA is the ONLY way to go.

DD's still on Vodafone, so any Telstra kickbacks for this free plug, would be very much appreciated.

Started with Vodafone 10+ years ago then shifted to Optus and I'm still with them. Have experienced some dead spots with Optus like others have reported - calls dropping out while at home when I lived at Torrens Park, etc but nothing that's bothered me enough to change carriers.

Have found Telstra's service through their internet arm to be very average unless you kick up a fuss, I'm not a fan of their impact on the net industry, and favour non-dominant companies per industry where possible, so I generally steer clear of the company.

yep have 3.5g (hsdpa) in the dome no probs
