We have always had Telecom CDMA phones where we are here in Northland with no problems, but for the past 2 weeks the signal seems to be fluctuating from zero to about 20% with the resultant searching for network, call dropping, call failed etc. We do not have any Vodafone coverage so Telecom was our only option. Nothing has changed where we are, both our phones are showing the same problem. A call to Telecom although helpful seemed to say they were not doing anything to the network. My overactive conspiracy theory sensors seem to think they are trying to get me to change to XT. Although I know I will have to change eventually I am now worried that if I change, the signal strength will be the same, as I believe, but may be wrong, that the same locations are used for the CDMA and XT transmitters. Anyone else having similar problems or can offer any advice? Thanks
