Just wondering if anyone else is having reception issues, internet problems and call dropouts in the Richmond to Box Hill suburbs. The following is what we have tried:
reset phone (no success)
rebooted phone (no success)
replaced SIM card (no success)
bought a new phone (no success)
tried someone else's SIM card (works perfectly, so it can't be the phones problem, especially since its a new phone)
contacted optus support at least 10 times in 6 months (and be provided with no proper explanation on why this is happening)
The following is the remaining things we haven't done:
Re: Poor Reception (Richmond & Box Hill, Victoria)
Might be worth getting a prepaid SIM from another telco and testing that properly for a month first (Not sure how long you tried the 'perfect' working one - I assume it was another telco)
Set call forwarding on your current number to the prepaid and see how it goes.
Re: Poor Reception (Richmond & Box Hill, Victoria)
It is usually quite patchy (ie. call dropouts, internet losing connection) from Footscray station to Flinders Street station. It is most prevalent when I take the train from Flinders Street station to Box Hill station line, especially around Richmond station and Box Hill station. At the Box Hill hospital, I usually have a useless phone as I have no reception or internet. Other co-workers who are on the Telstra and Vodaphone network appear to have no issues while at the Box Hill hospital.
