I live in Nicholls, in the Gungahlin area of Canberra. From about a
week ago I get really poor coverage, and in the evenings when I make a
call i get 3 beeps from the phone, no message explaining why just 3
beeps. When I can get through there is really bad buzzing in the phone.
I use the Nokia 5110.

I've rung optus about this and they've said this was due to congestion
on the basestations. I asked them about the location of the basestations
and they said there two in Nicholls. Does anybody know the location of
these? I've seen one cell id and that is over in Hawker, which is at
least 10km away.

Please explain why this may be happening. Is this a problem with my
phone?

Thanks

Wayne
