I went from Melbourne to Echuca over the weekend.  But although
there is supposed to be 2G coverage in Rochester and the Echuca/Moama area, 
and national roaming coverage in Heathcote, according to the Vodafone 
website, I experienced no coverage at all from just after Forbes until just 
before I arrived in the centre of Echuca.  Furthermore, when I got to Moama, 
coverage was patchy in many places and non existant in places like the Rich 
River Golf Club at ground level outdoors (available but intermittent on the 
first floor).  As I left Echuca to head back to Melbourne, my coverage ran 
out before the houses did.  Yet according to the coverage check featuree on 
the Vodafone website, there is a big ring of coverage that envolopes Echuca 
and Moama and the surrounding area.

I have a 3G handheld phone but it does not have 900Mhz 3G coverage, hence I 
was relying on 2G coverage outside of Melbourne.  I have international 
roaming activated, so according to the Vodafone website, I should have 
natiohnal roaming activated too.  In most places my phone was located in a 
vehicle when I reported no coverage, but in Heathcote, central Echuca and 
the Rich River Golf Club, I used it outdoors as well.

Is this the experience of other people, or could my phone have problems with 
2G?  My main gripe is that the coverage I experienced does not match the 
coverage as displayed on the Vodafone website.
