Unless the government intervenes, Telstra will close its CDMA network on 28
January, but the chairman of on its resellers, Fone Zone, has revealed that
there are still almost 900,000 customers on the network.
Fone Zone's chairman, Brian Finn, told the company's AGM on 29 October that
"there are still more than 880,000 CDMA customers who will need to move to
the Next G network in the next few months and they represent significant
potential for Telstra and Fone Zone. We intend to pursue that potential with
great vigour."
On 22 October, Telstra Country Wide group managing director, Geoff Booth,
was urging CDMA customers to make the switch, saying Telstra did not want
any of its customers stranded without a mobile network.
"By migrating now customers can also avoid any last minute rush, be sure
that they keep their mobile number and, if they are using prepaid, transfer
any remaining credit," Booth said.
To encourage customers to make the move Telstra is offering $100 credit to
postpaid CDMA customers who move to an eligible plan on the Next G network
before 13 November 2007.
