Thanks for the info B2

Where I live we have a 'slave' tower. The main tower is 5 kms south of here.
Around 0135 this morning i was woken by the phone receiving SMS missed calls.
I rang Tel$tra today to find out what is going on. I have now been told there was a fault.
The fault was more likely human error, thinking the main tower would give coverage which is why the slave was placed there.
It affected alot of businesses, farmers and contractors in and around the town on all different networks.
I guess its one way to force people over to nextg.

re 'Can I ask why everyone is waiting for the Nokia?'
I currently have a 6225. Best phone I have had. It has put up with being dropped, showered in grinding dust, dirt, smeared with oil etc. and still works.
All the other phones are 'flip phones'. A mate of mine has a flip phone and because of dirt and dust, the phone won't open freely.

Just found out TEL$TRA have been PROGRESSIVELY shutting down the CDMA network.

Tried to ring out from my CDMA phone. Phone is still under contract! All I get is call failed, but Signal strength is full.
 
Try to ring number from another phone, number rings 3 times then automated message saying number is busy? but I know it is not.
Try sending SMS and it shows 'Failed'. Silly thing is recipient received message.

TEL$TRA faults and enquiries told me the network is closing Jan 2008.
After they spoke to their supervisor they told me the network is being progressively being shut down.
I was then transferred to 'Faults Dept' and told same.

I have been waiting for a NEXTG Nokia phone to be released, but its not out until mid July. Model number 6120.
TEL$TRA faults dept. could supply me with a Nokia 3G phone, but signal is poor at its best here and so is digital. (Work colleague told me his 3g doesn't work indoors), Minlaton, Yorke Peninsula.

What happens to people if they require emergency assistance?? ie Elderly, tourists, businesses, farmers and others that rely on CDMA for communications??

Are TEL$TRA opening themselves up for a lawsuit??

Must be a win situation for phone resellers, problem will be supply and demand

AFAIK Ardrossans trailer is a Regional compressor trailer to service the Yorke Peninsula
