| 1117314 | 2010-07-09 00:07:00 | If you have a CDMA/GSM roaming fone the say like the Samsung W531 CDMA roaming will still work but the GSM roaming side of it won't.. Telecom are moving away from CDMA so why get it backwards? "With the growth and expansion of XT services Telecom will close its CDMA-based WorldMode Roaming service on 28 October 2010 and will close its domestic CDMA 3G data network, known as EVDO on 30 November 2010." If you are here just talking you can wait till 2012 or change as you like. |

| 1117320 | 2010-07-09 01:35:00 | Yes, correct on both counts johcar. It's the frequencies that they operate on, and yes the iPhone4 will work. AT&T = XT. My iPhone ran like crap on Vodafone but AMAZINGLY on XT. |

| 1117322 | 2010-07-09 02:56:00 | Yes, correct on both counts johcar . It's the frequencies that they operate on, and yes the iPhone4 will work . "I believe the iPhone 4 is optimised for Vodafone though . . . " isn't correct . The iPhone 4 includes 900Mhz (Vodafone 3G) support as well as the 850MHz that Telecom use but that's hardly optimising for Vodafone . Vodafone have to build out their 900Mhz network to catch up . |
