Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / Australian Group / November 2007CDMA: less than 100 days, but still 900,000 customers
From http://www.itwire.com/content/view/15082/127/ 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. > From > http://www.itwire.com/content/view/15082/127/ [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > postpaid CDMA customers who move to an eligible plan on the Next G network > before 13 November 2007. $100 is bullshit, I will leave it until the very last day.

What makes Telstra think the CDMA customers will move to NextG ? I personally know a few CDMA customers who are resold with Optus & they have no intention of moving to Next G. They're staying well away from Telstra & will be moving to Optus 3G, other resold CDMA customers may well have the same plans. And just for Telstra's interest, Optus 3G is now available well outside the state capitals & is expanding fast. Optus aren't making a big fuss about it, they're just getting on with the job & spending money on the network rather than waisting it on bullshit advertising like Telstra. > What makes Telstra think the CDMA customers will move to NextG ? > I personally know a few CDMA customers who are resold with Optus & they [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > about it, they're just getting on with the job & spending money on the > network rather than waisting it on bullshit advertising like Telstra. Exactly, I've been with Optus for years now and could never go back to Hellstra. Optus have always been able to better any other telcos offers me, Hellstra contacted me about changing back to them, I asked them what they were offering, I laughed when they told me, I told them what Optus did for me and they muttered something about not being able to match it, haven't heard from them since and hopefully I never will. --- avast!
