Mobile network all but gone

From

MOBILE phone users in St George and Sutherland Shire have been advised to
check their handsets before Telstra shuts down the CDMA network on April 28.


The switch-off had been planned for January 28 and will render some mobile
phone handsets useless.


Telstra advised customers on the CDMA network to upgrade their mobile phone
to the Next G network.


CDMA mobile phones do not have SIM cards, display the words "Telstra CDMA"
on the screen and have an eight-digit alphanumeric code behind the battery.


Rheniel Ibalio of Fone Zone Hurstville said if customers switched to
Telstra's Next G network before the April 28 deadline, they could keep their
existing phone number.


"Because our store has customers who live in regional areas, our staff
understand the need for excellent coverage and can work with the customer to
select the most appropriate handset for them," Mr Ibalio said.


The shutdown will most seriously affect mobile phone users in rural and
remote areas who rely on the CDMA network.


But a spokesman for the National Parks and Wildlife Service said rangers in
the Royal National Park would not be affected.


"We are on another network, so nothing to worry about," the spokesman said.


There remains a slim possibility that the shutdown will not go ahead because
the Federal Government could make an eleventh hour intervention.

You dont know that telstra will be allowed to shut it down on that data, fuckwit.

And then telstra got shafted with a telephone pole, just what they deserved.

And plenty of them told telstra to shove their NextG network where the sun dont shine.

Two things:

- Why does Alan have this unhealthy need to cut n paste every piece of
Telstra media coverage into the group? Does he think Usenet users
haven't discoverred the web yet?

- WHy Michael hasn't so much as made a peep since the Jan. 28th date was
pushed out?

Mikey usually appears only on/around weekends. (Maybe he's on weekend release
from some institution). Expect him to chime in within a short time.

Too busy to bother shooting Alan Fuckwit Parkington (aka. "Waaah
