Re: Help with Communications etc
Hi thanks for the offer.
Wondering what the best phone for reception in marginal areas would be.
I bought a telstra blue tick phone that has an antenna port (have never attached one)
but the wife has an iphone 4 that has reception when mine or a friends new samsung do not.
What would be the best antenna to buy for a phone (to mount on bull bar)?

I will be watching this thread .Just about to get a new phone and wondering the same question.
Do we think that Telstra is the better network.

Re: Help with Communications etc
I've played with an external antenna on my blue tick phone and not found much improvement. I guess this is cos mobile reception has to be line of sight. Comparing blue tick with T phones sitting on an induction loop/fixed external antenna, again the blue tick phone performed no better but the others became usable.
The best result from a Choice/NFF test was something like 46 km - outback with only one tower in the area (without external antenna).
My blue tick phone gets about 4 bars where other Telstra phones get 1-2.
In terms of coverage the big T is the only real option unless you have limited destinations and an Optus tower is there.
