[LINK] Mobile for the Bush

[Adam Todd]

Well interesting experience on our travels.

No idea why people complain about Internet access in the Rural and Bush areas.

3G Mobile phone, bluetooth and laptop and you're free to 4WD the 
mountains and stay online chatting and webcaming as you go.

Except -

Don't try to make voice calls or receive them!

NO CHANCE!

We have high speed broadband Internet and no voice at all.

There are of course the occasional blackspots in the highways one 
travels, but they aren't very exciting :)  Nothing more than a brief dropout.

But voice calls - nadda!
