[QUOTE="bicter, post: 678065, member: 1240"] If in range of a Telstra tower, then tether to your phone setup as a hotspot, alternative outside mobie coverage is Starlink for internet, Sat phones for comms. To check coverage use TElstra coverage page here: [URL]https://www.telstra.com.au/coverage-networks/our-coverage[/URL] If you are just out of coverage there are means to improve signal strength. A simple example in hilly country is to hoist phone/hotspot in plastic bag over a tall tree branch and connect via wifi. I use a prepaid Telstra 4GX Wi-Fi plus [URL]https://www.telstra.com.au/internet/mobile-broadband/prepaid/telstra-pre-paid-4gx-wifi-plus[/URL] with a couple of external antenna to improve coverage but will need to come up with a different solution with Testra going to 5G. I can use this setup for phone calls as well using wifi calling. [/QUOTE]
