I happened to be driving on the Warrego Highway the other day, from Roma
to Brisbane.

I noticed that between Miles and Chinchilla, the wife's Vodafone mobile
was showing Telstra on its screen as the carrier it was logged onto.

Checking the Voda website some time later, it says nothing about having
national roaming activated in any areas outside of central Victoria and
northern Tasmania. And the only cells Voda has in that particular area
are in Miles and Chinchilla themselves, not anywhere in-between.

The Voda coverage is pretty much nonexistent west of Toowoomba, and
since the wife was chatting away on her phone, my guess would be there
definitely is a roaming set-up in place there.

Anyone else able to confirm?
