Testing the new network

**mashman** · 29th May 2009, 13:51

I've got this weekend to test out the new XT network for the phones at work. I'm also looking for an excuse to get the Prila out and take her for a leg stretch as she's been negelected recently.

My question: Anyone know of any guarenteed "normal" network black spots that i can hit?

Cheers

yes, Onewhero/Wairamarama ways. My olds live out there, it's a mint ride and no bloody reception in some parts....

From about 70 Airle Rd onwards in Plimmerton to the top of the hill

Try holding a call from the city to Orewa without dropping it.

Anywhere just off of East Coast Road, down a hill a bit.

The basement of any concrete building.

Above the 8th or 9th floor in any building without an internal solution in the city.

Te Atatu peninsula, in one of the metal buildings.

Heaps more..

You'd better record all of your call times and locations actefully.

The brain tumour surgeon may want them as part if his research.

OR you could just use a headset.

Good luck.

Our place - sometimes! My calls go straight to the messaging service at times even when the phone is sitting right next to me! If I walk into the lounge they drop out at times too - and we live on top of a ridge!

If you come this weekend there are cinnamon rolls from the KB food thread!
