daparrot: The words Vodafone and Coverage are very rarley used unless you also use the word rubbish.
Thier 3G implementation is a great disappointment.
daparrot: Bothe Telecom and Vodafone claim around 97% of new Zealand has 3G coverage ( how they get that figure anyone can guess..
The difference between Telecoms XT network is you either get 3G coverage or no coverage for the 97% of NZ.
Where with Vodafone you get 3G coverage sometimes and then fall back to 2G coverage for the rest of NZ
With the XT network Telecom atleast have to try to be honest.

sbiddle:
If you're on Vodafone and don't have a handset that supports 900MHz UMTS then you will fall back to GSM.
If you have a handset that does support 900 UMTS then you get 3G coverage on both 2100 and 900 depending on your location. This 3G footprint essentially mirrors the existing GSM coverage - there will be the odd place where there is GSM and no 3G but it's certainly the exception rather than the norm.
