Hey Guys, brought a new XT Prepay sim working in a Nokia 6120c (was using it on vfone) After driving through Dannemora namely Kilkenny Dr up onto Chapel Road reception was suprisingly low. Even no coverage at my house. Any one else have any issues in this area?

Cheers

If that was originally purchased from vodafone (actually the 6121c) it does not support 850MHz WCDMA used by Telecom's XT network, its a 900/2100 WCDMA device therefore will only get reception on XT where 2100 WCDMA infill sites exist. As you can see from the Nokia sites phone are basically identically but operating frequencies is where they differ.
