[QUOTE="condor22, post: 77409, member: 1932"] Here's my experience. Both my wife and I use Virgin mobile and I use Virgin Mobile Broadband, which are full cell on Optus. I also have an old mobile with a 12month $100 prepaid Telstra sim for emergencies, if there is no Optus Signal. Many of the towns in the GT will pick up both Telstra and Optus. Once out of town Optus drops off and although not as frequent, so does Telstra. Once in a few hills even Telstra drops off. I am in the GT at the moment, I stayed out bush near Tarnagulla and had no Optus or Telstra. I moved to Dunolly and had full signal on both. My point being, if you camp out bush, off power and away from towers, you may not get a signal. However, if you stay near a town or in a van park in a town you most likely will. I did most of my research before I left home, my main need for internet is email, but if there's no signal, I CAN live with out it. If I can ring home and chat to the wife, she's happy. If I'm out bush with no phone, then I'm happy :lol: [/QUOTE]
