In the middle of a major (dare I say, quite well to do) suburb in Wellington, VF coverage is really poor or almost non existent. Now given there is a primary school there, one would wonder having good cellphone coverage would be important given the need for the school to contact teachers, parents contact pupils etc. But most of the time with VF (and apparently TCL also) coverage is really poor and I certainly notice when I am talking while driving past the school (using my BT headset of course) a call can cut out.
I guess I should get a 2Degrees SIM card and check it out since I need to have good coverage for my son's phone and it's not.
