| 546821 | 2007-05-04 06:37:00 | If I buy a CDMA cellphone from either Australia or Indonesia how do I go about activating it to work on the Telecom 027 Network?. There must be a techy out there somewhere that can do this...please. | Marshman (7857) | ||
| 546822 | 2007-05-04 07:30:00 | You can't. It's something to do with stopping people getting free phones on a subsidised plan in one country and then taking them to a second country where they are expensive and flogging them off. |

| 546824 | 2007-05-04 11:38:00 | decibel has already given the answer, nothing any of the stores can do except sell you another phone. | PaulD (232) | ||

| 546826 | 2007-05-05 23:08:00 | Nothing to do with unlocking. CDMA phones aren't like GSM where you can insert a local sim card. The network has to allow the phone to connect and Telecom won't do that unless you are a genuine roaming customer from overseas. Is a new handset worth maintaining an account in another country? | PaulD (232) | ||
