Chatham Islands get mobile network, but some glitches

From Checkpoint, 5:56 pm on 1 December 2021

4G wireless broadband, mobile voice, data and text services; a new satellite link, satellite dish and five cell sites have been installed around the Chatham Islands.

The system went live on Wednesday. Checkpoint tried to call Chathams Mayor Monique Croon but could not get through, so it was back to the landline for Lisa Owen.
