Selecting the Right Network
To help you select the right network we have provided some pointers below.
Digital GSM
GSM typically supports customers who :
primarily use their mobile service within capital cities and metropolitan areas
want good in-building coverage in capital cities and metropolitan areas
need their mobile phone while travelling overseas
Outbound Roaming
GSM also allows access to GPRS using a GPRS compatible handset.
Digital CDMA
CDMA typically supports customers who :
live in capital cities or metropolitan areas but regularly travel outside these areas
want coverage in more places across Australia than any GSM network
live outside of metropolitan areas
as you see. CDMA better coverage outside metropolitan areas
