Hello good people

allow me to announce that there is now 3G coverage in Pinelands, specifically at Medscheme building next to Vincent Pallotti Hospital!

Big Ups MTN!
 
they sent me a coverage rollout list stating priorities etc, still trying to work out how to read this thing but will advise once done.
Could you please send this on to me? I'd love to have a crack at it.
 
Any other areas?? Might be to early to get happy

rather ask what area (and bear in mind that i failed geography in std 7 so if its remote gimme something close by), but please no places like tweebuffelsdoodmeteenskootfontein, ure just setting ureselves up for disappointment :(

Claremont/Kenilworth - Westlodge Building tower

They installed the equipment months ago but still not "activated" - what gives?
 
@snakepit: Anything there for:
565 Goodwood Fire Station
5023 Monte Vista Station
136 Zum Bacchus Restaurant
2082 Hugo Bierman
20 Westlodge (for nic777)

I drove pasted Vincent Pallotti Hospital on the weekend and there was no 3G coverage. Must be a very small site because there is no 3G coverage in Pinelands either.

Hi Snakepit

I get cell broadcasts from these two towers:

565B/GOODWOOD FIRE STATION
15/11/2006
565B: 60-6X-18.0-KA: 120: -1: 28: CUSTOM3
15/11/2006

642A/TREVENNA
15/11/2006
642A: 60-6X-18.0-KA: 0: -1: 40: CUSTOM16
15/11/2006

I have no idea where TREVENNA is. Will you be able to email me a kmz file?

Thanks MTNDD

I assume you are giving a list of towers that match "Claremont/Kenilworth" and not a list of activated towers? In that regard, I would think that "Western Cape Claremont Athlone" would be the Westlodge tower as KC is another building a few blocks away.

Thanks. Its weird that after 6 months, the Westlodge tower is not activated: http://www.mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php?t=44668

Probably want to launch mutliple towers at a time?

On the Nokia phone you go to Messaging/Options/Settings/Cell broadcast & switch reception & topic detection ON. You are looking for topic 900 & 910.

Thanks, MTN_DD, is there any way you could give estimated dates for these areas? Snakepit was talking about priorities, would this refer to the order in which they are being upgraded?
