I am about to shamelessly plug a product and this is not normally something I would do, however I have been completely frustrated with NO reception anywhere from Optus. Nada… nothing…. Hence the lack of blog posts and then them all being posted at once in one big hit. So Gill, this is for you and print it off and take it to work of you want… Tell your boss that I take tips.

If you want to do a trip around Australia, then be with Telstra. No other provider will do. I wish I had thought of this earlier and at least picked up a cheap pre paid phone for emergency calls.
