I'm selling a 3 month old iPhone 4 as well as a brand new sealed in the box vacuum packed etc etc etc... iPhone 4.

PM me aussies!

hey guys,

i will b heading to australia to further my studies soon. which telco offers the best rate for an iPhone4? i will b residing around Newcastle, 2hours north from Sydney.

most of my friends recommend 3, but i cudnt find a 3 centre at Newcastle, which will b quite troublesome if i were to encounter any issues, i would den need to head to Sydney.

Hi all, i just found this thread and was wondering if currently it is still possible for international students to claim the GST for my iphone4 that i purchased in contract with vodafone for 24 months?

Not sure if im too late because it's already the 3rd month with vodafone iphone4 now...

Thanks in advance

Added on June 21, 2011, 8:39 pmIf you're looking for the most budget iphone4 plan (can choose black or white) i would suggest Vodafone. I myself is using the cheapest iphone4 plan i found but their 3G line are seriously crappy and in certain suburbs there is very low/no coverage.

on a 24 month contract plan:

Cap plan = 29 AUD, iphone4 = 18 AUD

Total per month: 47.00 AUD

$200 dollar talktime/sms, free calls to any Vodafone in Australia, 200MB data. UNLIMITED usage for Facebook, Foursquare, Twitter, eBay, and Myspace.


Of course Telstra is still the best if u want to compare 3G line, it's like 10x faster than Vodafone 3G but comes with a more expensive price.

======================================

Another cheaper plan I found is from Virgin Mobile.

Cap plan = 39 AUD, iphone4 = 10 AUD

Total per month: 49.00 AUD


$300 dollar talktime/sms, unlimited mobile talk&text to other Members (not sure what this mean, probably to Virgin Mobile numbers only) and 300 MB data.

Not sure if unlimited for Facebook etc or not and not sure about their coverage.

hi guys im going to oz soon and i need a prepaid which can use personal hotspot on my iphone4 aka tethering ...

i was told optus prepaid DOES NOT support tethering .. .zzzz ... and i tried it when i was there ... shop say can .. call customer service say cant ... damn full of sh}t ... in the end i just ask my friend who works in optus ... he says optus prepaid can't tether using prepaid ...

any other mobile operator users out there who's in oz ... can tell me which prepaid can be used for tethering?

hi

i don't really understand the technical term, but i used the iphone connected to my laptop through usb cable and I can surf the internet on my laptop, but that is previously on firmware 4.1,

not yet has hotspot n such, after upgrading to 4.3.2 i tried connecting to internet using the hotspot but cannot, never tried using usb cable with the new firmware , maybe i did it wrongly don't know, now at home have internet connection so not using it any more

i used vodafone flexi cap prepaid, 29 per month, but 500mb of data only (sometimes got promo got until 1gb), I am in melbourne

thanks alot for ur help

im on 4.3.3 and bought the optus prepaid and recharged that aud30 turbo cap thingy ... but my hotspot cant turn on. ive never tried to use usb cable to my laptop cuz during that time i was using ipad2 to connect to my iphone4.

australia's telco operators' websites are so darn confusing. its so hard to find whether or not their prepaid plans can use tethering ...

but yes u were tethering using USB cable method ...

but wireless method for u seems to be unable to connect ... actually if it says 'please contact your operator' if u tried the hotspot .. means cannot i think ...

will check vodofones flexi cap and see ... cheers

YES, SUCCESFULL...., i am replying this through my laptop using iphone hotspot, but connecting through wifi connection, tried before using bluetooth but nothing happened.

so vodafone prepaid can be used for hotspot, using with my computer, and loading is slowwww

quality wise i think vodafone has been attacked on their 3G services, sometimes when i am in town and like to search for places using maps it took a looong time to load, but using the native email, twitter and facebook is no problem, safari ok la, but tumblr is no go, imo for chatting, mms and whatsapp is ok, even trying skyping is ok

hope this help you, in relative experience using vodafone in melbourne, other places no idea
