Business as usual at 1500 feet

Klaus Wilde using Next G 1500 feet above the coastline

There we were, half way between Mackay and Rockhampton, in a rent-a-plane just 1500 feet above the coastline, not a soul or building or road in sight, when back seat passenger Klaus Wilde (CEO of Cougar Homes) opens his laptop with a Next G plug-in card and starts receiving emails, sending replies, and surfing the net.

For Klaus, it was business as usual.

For me, I'm putting a Next G antenna on the plane to get even more range! What fantastic coverage.

About the G whiz stories

The G whiz stories here are based on Telstra Next G™ customers’ own experiences of coverage on the Next G™ network. Like any other mobile network, Next G™ mobile telephone coverage depends in part on where you are, what particular handset you are using and whether your handset has an external antenna attached.
