Re: Anyone taken their iPhone 4 to Aus?

Yeah, that's the main consideration.
If the phone was bought directly from Apple then it will be SIM unlocked and you can easily swap to the Australian Teleco of your choice.

If on contract or bought on high street PAYG = locked.

Although it shouldn’t be an issue, you should be prepared to provide a supporting letter from your GP, and possibly have...
