Hmm... that's odd, I would have thought all services would work over all technologies 2G thru to 3.5G. Perhaps Vodafone default to a mixture of frequencies for some services, but that would be dependant on the area and it's coverage ideosyncracies I would expect.
Anyway, Telecom will offer txt and calling over 3G/3.5G as well as data and advanced services like MMS, etc.

Well I do know you can text on 3g with no gsm (on vodafone) but calling seems to need gsm

I've had several texts fail to send when I have no GSM coverage. But I guess it must be operator dependent.

No, but they have deployed a huge number of cellsites around Auckland so they must be up to something. Rumour has it they intend to launch about the same time as T-day, but they won't be using the name NZ Communications in their marketing.

Due to a lower capacity per cellsite (Telecom are using the 850MHz band - much lower than high capacity 2100MHz) there will either need to be more sites (high capital expenditure causing delays in rollout) or low capacity (overloading leading to upset customers). 850MHz should deliver good reception though...
I'd better revise this, I've just found out Telecom is using some 2100MHz in urban areas for capacity. Probably just the main centres though.
