    Then you need a new hearing aid, again

    I don;t have the Android Moto described

    They didnt just pan that one

    This is the one I have and it's working perfectly,

    Bullshit it is with screen quality and battery life

    although it's 6 years old and on Android 11, latest is Android 16.

    So its fucked in that respect too

    <https://www.motorola.com/nz/smartphones-moto-g-5g-plus/p>

    Did test drive Iphone and it couldn't get a clear signal where I live,
    my Moto can.

    Which iphone ?

    The specs told me it was second in receive/transmit
    capability to Iphones top model at the time.

    My neighbour's company gave him a top Iphone on Telstra and for him to
    make of hear a conversation he has to walk out to his backyard (this
    is Sydney metro)

    Irrelevant to what it could do on the optarse network

    had my fuse box replaced (over 45 years old voltage drop) $3,500 went
    to pay by credit card and he also had to find a spot with his Ipad
    (Telstra) in my yard where he could get a connection for transaction.

    Says nothing useful about what it could do on the optus network

    Wit my Moto works better than any other mobile in my street,

    Easy to claim and your street is irrelevant anyway

    why would I fix something obviously not broken,

    It was always broken by fucked design, most
    obviously with the screen and battery life

    Were in a Chemist who had to
    contact my doctor the landline in use her Iphone wouldn't connect, so
    I let her use mine. Worked perfectly.

    Because it was on a different network, fuckwit

    I have a Samsung A35 5G and it works OK. Except people keep calling
    me on it even though I've told them I have a good land line. I'd
    flush the gadget except for the bank codes and the Govt tax portal.

    Balls! I have a DOT with UNLIMITED downloads at 25*per*.
    The Telstra company wont allow the Mobil to share with DOT so I use it
    very rarely.

    If you loaned me your iGadget I could try to fit a square peg into a
    round hole.

    the human ear, but a gazzo told you it as better and pushed that logic
    in $$price$$

    All my neighbours have Iphones supplied by who they work for
    ALL have problems hearing calls, admittedly reception here is not
    great.
    However my Moto receives calls clearly and transmits clearly, in my
    area, Neighbours impressed.
    the Iphones are repeat that please, the other end saying the same.

    my moto has very clear sound, and can be made very loud

    Yes the Motorola's do have very clear sound
    But I believe Iphone do also, whoever their receive and transmit is
    not as good as the Motorola's, so calls are not that clear.

    My first Motorola I used over 50 years ago in petrochemicals as a

    I had a Motorola Bag phone soon after they became available here in Oz.

    "Receive and transmit" from everyone's mobile phone seems to be
    rubbish in my area since the damn telcos switched 3G off. I'm not
    sure if that includes any Motorolas though. I know now that
    Telstra's "Blue Tick" is BS - those phones might display more
    (meaningless) bars but they drop out at the same time as others.

    so calls are not that clear.

    Well maybe that's something else. You could hardly describe calls
    dropping out entirely, or going silent for half a minute or so, as
    just "not that clear".

    My first Motorola I used over 50 years ago in petrochemicals as a
    young lad,Two way radios.

    As I've mentioned before that was old Motorola. I didn't even know
    the brand had been dug up from its grave until you started raving
    about them here, but they're actually Lenovo now (Chinese).
