    Billing system doesnt know whether a service is "registering with a base".

    Prepaids are often allowed to be "dormant" - that is, Telstra does not
    always enforce disconnection after the "recharge only" period.
    In other words, they dont always disconnect you as early as they should.

    However, prepaids are up to date in terms of dormancy.

    So the entire customer base (retail) is non-dormant (billing), but that
    doesnt mean they've been switched on lately. Many people have their CDMA on
    a $10 plan (or $4.95) sitting in the glovebox or whatever

    Nope. Businesses went early and almost all of those are migrated.

    The vast base left is consumer, and the majority of that is prepaid.

    Which may need to be pushed back again......

    The info I have is that, as of a week ago, there are still in the vicinity
    of 280,000 services still on CDMA. That's services that are actively
    registering with a base station, not just idle accounts.
    While some are undoubtedly handsets, a large number are believed to be
    remote telemetry units in use by various utilities, railways, mines and
    other companies, and won't be quite as easy to upgrade as a regular voice
    handset.

    Get ready for another delay.........

    The info I got wasn't from the billing system

    The ones I'm talking about *have* registered with a base. Nothing to do with
    what's billing.

    Then the info youve got is a bit bodge - I'd suggest that only 60-70% of
    active services would be registering on the HLR.

    Seen it happen. Know the numbers - not many business services left.

    Hundreds of telemtry units I am aware of from one business alone that are
    still on CDMA, whilst the CounryWide buffoons figure out a solution.

    They are leaving it a bit bloody late. If CDMA did switch off in Feb,
    they would really be up the creek.

    Probably not by choice though. If the telemetry unit they use doesn't
    support UMTS at 850Mhz they are stuck with whatever they've got, until
    Telstra kills the network.

    Why would TCW be thinking up a solution for a customers problem?

    Buy a NextG or GSM telemetry unit like every other customer. No coverage?
    Raise a complaint.

    Simple.
