The city I live in, Port Macquarie, has awful cell phone reception basically everywhere (I'm on the Vodafone network).

Is this something I can bring up with the local council, or elected representative?

I can't believe I live in a city of 50,000 people and I'm unable to receive phone calls from my house.

    I'd probably search the Whirlpool forums for similar threads. If they have no guarantee on quality of service, then shitty service is probably enough.

    I use Aldi because Telstra, thanks to their dominance is the only one that works well enough. The phone also plays a big part in it, I run Graphene on the 'a' models (plus other cheaper phones prior), and other people I work with can get better reception than I, using the same provider but with their flagship phones. Next time you buy a phone, see if you can review the modem in it.

    And to top that off, I get no reception at all where I live. Besides the fucking annoyance of getting 'text message' verifications which drive me up the wall, not having the phone working gets quite relaxing after a while. I turned off wi-fi calling when my phone finally had it because the shock of it ringing was too much.
