What kind of mobile phone system is used in Niue, BTW? I remember
reading that it is quite different from your standard provider.

It seems they have three GSM base stations, which for some reason they
want to run using "Open software". Not sure why they don't come fully
fitted with software from the factory.

Domestic calls only. No international roaming (and presumably no
international calling out), in the absence of an undersea cable - being
fitted now.
