Hi guys!
Let me just put down some details of my purchase -
For all you Melbournians, today I went into Telstra T-Life on the corner of Swanston and Burke. It was indeed busy, but after 15 minutes of wait...I bought my Black 16GB IPhone 3G outright.
Initially, they asked that only a telstra customer (and even more initially..asked if i was a telstra mobile customer...but that didn't hold), and EVEN THOUGH they don't check, saying yes usually leads to a thumbs up anyway.
847 dollars gets u that phone. Walk out of the store AND IGNORE RANDOM STUFF THAT THEY MAY ADVISE U WITH.
I was hit with "This phone does not even work with Telstra Prepaid...The prepaid version is coming out in 3-4 weeks IN 12GB FORMAT"
Now unless i AM mistaken, by this time i was (and still is) a bit astounded at the lack of information they have.
UNLOCKING (accordin to them) works if you call 1800 IPHONE Monday-Friday 9-5.
The only thing I ask now of all you people reading this...is to clarify with me IF YOU HAVE ABSOLUTE INFORMATION, whether this phone of mine, would work anywhere in the world with a normal GSM card (not 3G) after unlocking.
Thanks!
