You will also need to hold them upside down - the speaker and microphone are the other way around in Oz.

Rubbish question I know! The point about it being locked to a network is that when in Oz it will be locked to an Oz network (UK mobile networks will have agreements with Oz networks) that will charge you sky high rates as a tourist from the UK. So yes get your phone unlocked before you come to Oz, then you can sign up to any Oz network at normal rates. |

Yes, this is because Australia's cordless phone industry is important to our economy, and we can't risk foreign phone diseases being brought into the country.
