| 1117304 | 2010-07-08 22:58:00 | Reported today that Telecom is going to drop it's CDMA service shortly. I wonder if they will offer replacement mobiles to those of us who are using this service? | rny (6943) | ||

| 1117308 | 2010-07-08 23:07:00 | Bugger! :groan: Ok, so it is not until mid-2012, and i don't need the world roaming service, but I have a Samsung CDMA/TDMA phone so I wonder if they are going to move to TDMA or some other more recent variant? Could be XTremely annoying. Must go take a look........ Cheers Billy |

| 1117309 | 2010-07-08 23:12:00 | I'm sure they will do what they did when they shut down 025 - offer replacement phones (crappy ones probably) that are compatible with XT. IIRC, the replacements for 025 phones were bottom of the range offerings, so if you see a bargain in the meantime, it might pay to upgrade earlier. |

| 1117310 | 2010-07-08 23:15:00 | Dunno why you'd want to stay on their CDMA network personally. Sure they had a rough start with XT over the Dec -> Mar period, but that's been ironed out and the XT network is basically superior in every way. Most people will have upgraded their phones by that time, I heard the usage-life of a Cellphone was < 2 years. It's already happened with their 025 network, and is just simply part of natural progression :) |

If you have a CDMA/GSM roaming fone the say like the Samsung W531 CDMA roaming will still work but the GSM roaming side of it won't.. |
