Default Rush on as customers switch to new network

From
http://dubbo.yourguide.com.au/news/l...k/1161705.html

Telstra western region general manager Chris Taylor is "absolutely
confident" the CDMA network will close according to schedule on January 28.
And with 15 per cent of customers yet to migrate to new Next G technology he
said an estimated 7000 western region customers were fast running out of
time.

"Telstra shops have been flat out for months and staff in many centres,
including Dubbo, are working extended hours to cope with last-minute demand,''
Mr Taylor said.

"The Dubbo shop in Macquarie Street will be trading from 8.30am to 6.30pm
from January 21 and 9am to 5pm on weekends, including the Australia Day
holiday period

"We've already put two new computer terminals into the Dubbo retail outlet
to cope with demand and staff are really feeling the pressure as an average
of 250 customers switch over to Next G every week.''

Mr Taylor said at this stage there were plenty of new "blue tick" phones
(recommended for country use) in stock but Next G car kits were in short
supply.

From January 29 existing CDMA mobile numbers will be quarantined by Telstra.

After 30 days they will be returned to the Telstra number pool.

We'll see...

Easy to claim, hell of a lot harder to actually substantiate that claim.

You'll have to pardon us if we dont actually cream our jeans, child.

Then the fool that fucked up so spectacularly should be taken out the back and shot.

So much for the previous complete pack of lies on that.

Why should anyone believe that now ?

What's wrong with 2G in any case?

Short of supply? Totally inexcusable -they should have known how many people
need to migrate.

Never mind, the Minister will certainly direct them to leave CDMA running.

What's the purpose of that? Why can't Telstra simply hold those customers'
numbers for them til they make up their minds within that 30 day period. Call it
a "cooling off period" if you will.

Depends where you are, I s'pose. For me GSM/2G is fine in and around the towns
where I live. But venture any distance from the Princes Highway and it's fucked.

Thing is, NextG where I work, about 12km from the highway and from the nearest
town is as marginal as what GSM is. CDMA is a little better, but not much. Some
rooms in the building can get a signal while others cannot. And it's not all the
same for each network, either.

Yes, but they return to the CDMA pool and can't be released for GSM
customers

As at network closure, all remaining CDMA services not in the process of
migration, will be disconnect.

For 28 days (not 30), you will be able to be reconnected for the express
purpose of doing a migration

So much for your bare faced pig ignorant lie that if the number wasnt in the
process of being ported on the 28-Jan, it wouldnt be possible to keep it.

That was always are bare faced telstra lie that flouts the MNP law.

Car kits are optional accessories. No need for Telstra to stock them at all
They dont manufacturer them so they have no control over the situation

Never made the claim, I said they would be disconnected, which they will be.
I also said Telstra is under no obligation to let you have it back, which
they arent

> That was always are bare faced telstra lie that flouts the MNP law.


It's not an MNP "law". I also stated Telstra will not be disconnecting any
services currently undergoing MNP action

Because even telstra aint actually stupid enough to try doing what

Which is why I specifically wrote "As at network closure, all remaining CDMA
services not in the process of migration, will be disconnect"

Is network closure here yet? Nooooo . . .

Pity about the lie right at the top.
