XT phones revealed. Will you make the switch from vodafone?

Rubbish. No they're not.

Do you have proof of this? I have been told by telecom engineers that it is, also every article I have read states that they are using GSM...

Proof? Like what? Sworn statements from someone involved on the project?

Telecom aren't using their engineers, they're getting Alcatel to do it.

umm, no...was meaning some kind of legit online article that stated it was not using GSM.

Its just every article I've read (online, and not), including some of there engineers have stated differently.

I might be wrong, but I think I'll keep listening to my sources.

Thanks for the info anyway.

They aren't using analogue either.. but i can't find an article stating that.. or wet string and bean cans.


They were installing a GSM/2G and a 3G network. They realised that everyone else in the world has stopped 2G (some years ago) so they've ripped all the 2G sites out again.

GSM is 2G
WCDMA is 3G.

You are correct good sir.
Im upgrading my telecom phone when the new network is online. Now days i think telecom is the better provider what with not being charged to call the help desk n all. Vodafone also provide crap service calls dropping delayed messages ect i spoken to plenty of reps who dislike them for that very reason. Crossing fingers for better data plans on xt.

I'm saving $30-40 a month being with Telecom, and my phone is better than what I had on Vodafone.

I'm supposed to be getting a $300 credit to be used towards a new phone for the XT network so I'm looking forward to that

I'm saving about $300 a month diverting my calls to Vodafone. It's a shame I get no signal at my house though. Mind you, I drive 2 minutes from my house and I can only get Vodafone but no Telecom.

It's a real shame they couldn't work out a roaming agreement so that when your GSM handset is out of range of your main provider you can still make and receive calls with the other.

Sorry mate, had a chat to a couple of people tonight and you are 100% right...guess it pays to question everything you read/hear.
