Camping just north of the Cathedrals last month we had Telstra phone and internet coverage using a portable external aerial.

Think a lot depends on your phone too, the wifes 3G HTC would get limeted service out on the top of the dunes just north of the Maheno, my samsung was dead till I got to within a few klicks of Eurong on the beach, a mates I phone 4G thingy had limeted service in most places along the east coast  and north of Orchid beach.. Apparently the blue tic phones seem to get better coverage most times ..
There is a telstra tower at Eurong

If you have Telstra you will have good coverage around eurong and patchy reception all the way up to happy valley. if your up at waddy or orchid you will also get good reception.

Don't blame the carriers for dodgy coverage on Fraser though! blame the council  ???
