Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / Australian Group / January 2005Looking for a new plan
Hiya Ive been a long time optus customer, but i may have to split with them soon. Where i am living now has poor optus reception, and its driving me nuts. I cant get a decent conversation going, as the phone just drops out. I usually get 1 bar reception on Nokia's. Our second phone is Sony Ericsson (the $99 prepaid ones). Thats even worse... its almost useless at home. Does anyone know, which phones have better reception than others? I really prefer to stay with Optus, as i am on a very cheap plan, but because my wife keeps using the landline to call mobiles, its driving our phone costs up the wall. I have been looking around, Vodafone, Telstra, 3, for cheap, low usuage plans. I haven't had a chance to digest all the info yet.... but was wondering if anyone can recommend any cheap plans? Thanks Kory > Hiya > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > Kory You may want to consider an external antenna for you phone at home if you are happy with your Optarse plan. Even a glass mount antenna on one of your windows would probably make a difference.

Even a glass mount antenna on one > of your windows would probably make a difference. I have a similiar problem, which isn't fixed by placing the phone in the car kit. I did read that Optus are planning to install another tower in the area so hopefully the coverage problem will be fixed. You may want to consider Revolution Telecom as a cheap pre-paid provider. They use the Vodaphone network around Australia so reception is really good and they offer really cheap calling rates. Standard rate is just 9.9c per 30 seconds, SMS are 20c, your calling credits never expire and you dont get locked into any contract. Also, for a limited time only, they are offering a FREE $30 phone credit to anyone porting their number to Revolution Telecom. To take advantage of this offer go to www.joinrevolution.com and fill in your name, address, mobile phone number and the promotion code FREE30 and Revolution will do the rest. If you've got any friends that might be interested in this deal, then let them know as well and they can use the same FREE30 promotion code. For more information visit www.revtel.com.au cheers >> > Hiya >> > [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > area > so hopefully the coverage problem will be fixed.

Obviously too cheap to pay for advertising and would prefer to spam newsgroups instead. > They use the Vodaphone network Yep. Definitely 'cheap'.

(Remove your panties to reply by email) I've been with Revolution for about a month and havent had any hassles with reception. And my phone bill is a lot less than my old Telstra account with the same usage. Particularly as I use my phone for just calls and sms and dont bother with pic msgs, MMS and all that other stuff anyway. And if a lack of formal advertising means that my phone bill is kept low then i'm more than happy to see the odd ad online instead.

Why bother changing my IP? Take advantage of the Revtel deal or dont, I don't care. Revolution has been a good telco for me and saved me money. My original post was a helpful suggestion for KORy. I dont see any of you critics making any helpful suggestions for him. And if I choose to post the deal in full for others to see then why the hell not? This is a mobile phone forum and if people choose to check it out then great, it's their gain. Dont take my word for it all, go check out the deal yourself at www.joinrevolution.com and www.revtel.com.au.

So why bother trying to hide your identity (and f.cking it up BTW). > Revolution has been a good telco for me and saved me money. You've already told us that, shill. > My original post was a helpful suggestion for KORy. Bullshit. It was spam. > I dont see any of > you critics making any helpful suggestions for him. OK. I'll do it now then. Kory - Avoid shonky outfits like RevTel. Any company who resorts to getting shills to spam newsgroups is definitely shifty. > And if I choose to post the deal in full for others to see then why the > hell not? Because it's spam, stupid. > This is a mobile phone forum Correct. Not a place for free advertising.

Tah Kory How long do most* so-called 'cheap' * third partie last. Most of them you hear of the once or twice then the Disappear. I'd stick to actual provider itself.

Depends on what phone you have as to what you will require to plug the antenna into, you may need an in car kit set up at home. As for Revtel, they may have good product *BUT* it does not excuse them for *SPAMMING* the newsgroups. I am sure it will have a negative impact, I for one won't consider them simply because of them *SPAMMING, they can get *f.cked*!
