The city I live in, Port Macquarie, has awful cell phone reception basically everywhere (I’m on the Vodafone network).
Is this something I can bring up with the local council, or elected representative?
I can’t believe I live in a city of 50,000 people and I’m unable to receive phone calls from my house.
Do you think there’s anything I can do about it?
I’m not going back to Telstra, they can get fucked. I would rather no cell phone coverage than give Telstra a cent.
I’ve been considering making my own signal booster, but I don’t know how well it will work, or even if it will.
Have you considered Aldi Mobile? They use the telstra network with some towers excluded. I don’t know if there’s a way to look up what towers are excluded, but I was under the impression that it was remote towers where no competitors service.
By that definition wouldn’t the aldi network be equivalent to Vodafone?
