One in every four mobile users on the planet is connected with Vodafone. That's a lot of mobiles and a lot of mobile experience. We were part of the original team that developed GSM technology (now used by 860 networks in 220 countries and regions). Our experience and expertise goes along way in Australia too.
Currently, the Vodafone Australia Network, made up of GSM (voice), GPRS (data) and our faster 3G broadband (voice and data) network, covers 99.53% of Australia's metro areas. And, with National Roaming activated, we cover 94.52% of the entire Australian population.
But our coverage isn't just about coverage, it's about quality coverage. What we learn around the world, we apply here at home, to give you better coverage and better service, which just keeps on getting better.
Our expanding 3G broadband network currently covers the metro areas of Sydney, Central Coast, Melbourne, Canberra, Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane and the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast. Plus all major international airports.
We're expanding our 3G network to reach 95% of places Australians live and work.
We'll be upgrading sites in every state and territory.
The new network will enable faster download and upload speeds, as well as improved network coverage and capacity for standard 2G and 3G voice calls.
Need greater coverage?
In a country the size of Australia, it's no surprise that you may experience reduced coverage in remote areas. A car kit, with a dashboard cradle and an external antenna, should improve the quality of calls in these areas, to help you stay in touch even when you're out of town.
Important: While the highest standards are applied in preparing these maps, 100% mapping accuracy cannot be guaranteed. In addition, coverage information is based on outdoor analysis and may differ when indoors. There may also be a number of factors beyond Vodafone's reasonable control that could cause coverage to vary within a stated area. For example, the age and type of handset, local weather conditions or areas of variable reception (e.g. basements, lifts, underground car parks, large concrete buildings, or road cuttings) may mean reception is unavailable or subject to interruption.
