Phone reception can be limited in the outback, however, Mount Surprise, Forsayth, Einasleigh and Georgetown all have Telstra mobile coverage but only Telstra, not one of the subsidiary providers. Many travellers purchase a prepaid SIM while visiting the area to keep in contact with loved ones, otherwise Telstra payphones offer free calls within Australia.
