You should have let him wriggle a bit before adding that line.

Dunno what that other guy's on about. At least in rural Victoria, the
Telstra CDMA network has better coverage than GSM. GSM tends to fall off
a bit once you depart any significant distance from the Princes Highway,
particularly in East Gippsland.

CDMA doesn't have a blanket coverage, but it is better than GSM out
here.

The CDMA coverage in East Gippsland is fantastic

Youre an idiot, read the quote from the op "and keep my exisiting plan and
number."

I then commented on the number and plan. And you said "wrong"

So your comment could have been about either, f-wit

Too bad Globalstar is a satellite network, not a mobile network.

Irrelevant to WHAT I CHOSE TO COMMENT ON,
you stupid little pig ignorant dunny cleaning ****wit child.

Because you were wrong about the plan, you stupid
little pig ignorant dunny cleaning ****wit child.

Its absolutely no news to anyone at all that the number is
portable, you stupid little pig ignorant dunny cleaning ****wit child.

Wrong, as always. Its absolutely no news to anyone at all that the number
is portable, you stupid little pig ignorant dunny cleaning ****wit child.

It is. As it is around the Latrobe region. However, there are patches
that where AMPS had good coverage, GSM and CDMA are non-existant. North
of Glenmaggie comes to mind.

What I don't understand about CDMA is that it's s'posed to have a long
range per cell. Say, 30 km? In Cowes, Phillip Island, I'm lucky to get
one, maybe two bars signal. Out at the race track, about 3 km as the
crow flies (according to my GPS anyway), the signal is full strength.

Or at Corryong, in NE Vic. Good CDMA coverage. 18 km away at Tintaldra,
there's nothing. Not a zack.

Good work for supporting a proud Aussie company rather than foreign muck.
