608641 2007-11-05 20:46:00 I find Telecoms coverage so poor that between Wanganui and Hamiltion the phone is communicating with a repeater/tower for all of 20 minutes during the entire drive, the rest of the time there is no coverage.

Vodaphone are equally crap.

I can drive 5 minutes out of town and coverage is dead.
At the same time of course nobody wants the repeater stations,always tricky having it both ways!.

608642 2007-11-05 23:03:00 Personally I find communications on Telecom's network superior to Vodafone. All calls are crystal clear, but when calling Vodafone mobiles I frequently get echoes, broken audio and connection drop out. Never happens on the Telecom network.

Your mileage may vary.

I think telecoms network is superior in terms of call quality and more coverage, but their selection of phones and that they ae CDMA is a disadvantage if travelling to europe.

I have a vodafone and I am often cut off during the call, and their is often a delay and echoing. It doesn't make any difference changing phone.

608647 2007-11-07 06:07:00 I find even if I ring from a Telecom mobile there is a lot of silence (no ringing tone even) when ringing telcom mobiles. Sometimes I just have to hang up and redial! JaceKiwi (2561)
608648 2007-11-07 06:08:00 So - you're saying that Nokia puts good batteries in their 021 phones and crook batteries in their 027 ones ?

No they are exactly the same battery (I kept the battery and used it in the new phone!)

Forgot to mention I had a Kyocera that worked fine and a 5120/5110 - both worked reasonably well - the 5120 battery still didn't last as long as the 5110 though but nowhere near the 2 days of the one I had about 3 years ago.

608650 2007-11-07 06:13:00 I have had echos only on Vodafone - sounds like you are talking to yourself - other than that not going back there with my mobile.
