To unlock my iphone, is it free? 1) Unless they've changed, domestic roaming with Three has always counted towards your cap for voice calls and SMS. Its video calling and data usage that is extra and does not count towards your cap. 2) Unlocking: ask Three. 3) I got all this from their website. Learn to do some research rather than coming into a forum of strangers randomly asking questions to people that may or may not exist, expecting to be spoonfed.

To unlock my iphone, is it free? hey man! as long as you don't SURF the net and use the data then it'll be included in your cap. if you get out of reception from 3, you'll roam on to telstra and sms, calls will still be included in your cap.  unlocking, check out http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/ for information.

Had to go buy another calculator. And my uni unless it's one of the casio fx-82 series you'll have to check an approved list and go get an "approved" sticker. Unless you do so, you bring those basic calculator they use at the shops also they won't allow into exam.

i guess it depends on which uni or which course u are with. for my case UniSA B. Pharm, u just have to state the calculator model and make in the exam papers, even though there said only non-programmable calculators are allowed. I have been using my 570ms forever well it makes sense for my course because the max usage of calculators are + - X and /, thats all. even if u have the most sophisticated calculator also wont be any more useful than the pasar malam calculator

Both UNISA and U Adelaide have campuses in the city, UNISA east being almost next door to U Adelaide. Adelaide is very livable city with lower costs than Melbourne and Sydney. Accommodation is easy to find and public transport costs are zero since both unis are within walking distance to most student apartments. Woolworths, Coles and Central Market are a short walk or free tram ride away so food costs can be kept low if you cook.

Hey guys, am back. Fully settled down. Anyway, back to the topic. In my case, my university provides us a list of approved calculators. After that, you'll have to go to your respective faculty receptionist to request for a calculator approval sticker. Which means, you are not allow to use or bring any approve calculator without that sticker. Not to worry, the sticker is free.

Those are main factors that will make you feel comfortable and equipped throughout your study. This post has been edited by immabee: Mar 13 2011, 12:48 PM
