📍 What Works in Morangup
- Telstra towers provide the best coverage — used by ALDI, Boost & Belong
- WiFi calling helps improve indoor signal, especially with thick walls
- Signal boosters (e.g., CellGo or Cel-Fi GO) can assist with weak spots in sheds or large properties
- For remote jobs or off-grid homes, some locals are even using Starlink satellite internet to get reliable data and calls — yes, even from the back of a work ute!
🧠 Locals Say:
“I switched to ALDI after 30 years with Telstra — same signal, half the price.”
“Belong's been solid for me, and $30/month is manageable. Full bars most days.”
Some residents have also recommended prepaid-only SIMs or data-focused plans with minimal fluff to avoid paying for extras they don’t use — a common issue on older Telstra contracts.
