Vodafone Reception In Rural Areas

[mad082]

as the topis says, does anyone use vodafone outside of brissy/goldcoast? what is the reception like? i am looking at changing to a vodafone plan but want to know what the reception is like. i am currently with telstra on a 3g plan and the reception is ok. will it be similar? i am in gympie, so some places in town you will lose recption due to the hills.

Telstra is the only provider that has given me good coverage in regional QLD...

As stated in the wasteland thread I found no other service out near Dalby or on the highway between Toowoomba and Warick other than Telstra...

I get coverage all the way to Hervey Bay with my Telstra 3G work phone, yet my personal phone drops out everywhere...

the missus is still on the old gsm with optus and she gets the same reception as my telstra 3g, as gympie has no actual 3g reception (only brisbane and the gold coast has acutal 3g reception in qld, the other regions revert back to gsm)

actually at times she gets better reception than me. at the shop in the main street of gympie i get little reception inside the shop but she gets full. and other people on telstra have the same problem.

i think it should be ok, but i would still like a bit more feedback. i am also going to go to the phone shop and ask them. they do telstra and optus as well as vodafone so i should get an honest answer..... if they actually have any idea that is.

my g/f has vodaphone here in rocky (in a flat in the city) and reception is crap. Another vote for optus, at our place i get full reception she has none!
