Hi All,

Just to let you know the mailing list will be a bit unstable for a day  
or so, but messages should start coming through. We have had to switch  
software that controls the list so some features, like digest, may not  
be immediately available.


Thanks for your understanding.

Hi Bill

It is most likely not you!
The mailing list has had some software changes that may cause the  
digest service to be temporarily unavailable.

Re: iPhone Help

[Peter Sealy]

To return to the original questions, my understanding is that nobody  
can purchase an iPhone by itself, locked or unlocked, in Australia. I  
think you can only buy an iPhone on a contract for phone + data/call  
usage. Of course the contracts vary enormously in complexity,  
deliberately so, and you need to look at several to determine the best  
deal. Unlike in the USA where I think it is only AT&T which has the  
initial sale+contract deal, here just about all mobile phone carrier  
companies sell the iPhone as part of a contract.


The major carriers are:





There many others and I am certain other members of this group will be  
able to contribute names and recommendations.


A most important factor is the degree of phone coverage for the  
Pilbara by the various carriers. Telstra has the best coverage in  
Australia but I do not know of the others coverage. Their web sites  
should show.


None of the iPhones you obtain by contract are provided unlocked. You  
either have to pay the carrier to unlock the phone or do it yourself  
[and there are many helpful folk available to point you in this  
direction].


An alternative is to obtain an unlocked iPhone in the USA and bring it  
with you. That way you can join a carrier with a pre-paid connection  
which is the cheapest phone call system if you do not make many calls.  
Doing this with a small up front pre-paid amount would allow you to  
get a start and then you could further explore your requirements and  
solutions. I followed this route wherein I was given an unlocked  
iPhone by my son who bought it in Singapore, I brought it home and I  
simply joined a pre-paid connection with Telstra.


Bear in mind that all the companies have specials every so often so  
you may be lucky. I think at the moment there are some good deals here  
with iPhone + contract because all the carriers know there is a new  
model iPhone close to release.


If you do bring an iPhone with you, you will need a plug adapter to  
fit the USA plug into our 3 pin electricity wall outlet but one costs  
only a few dollars here. Also be aware for your other household  
appliances that our electricity is 240v. Sorry if that's telling  
grandma how to suck eggs as you're an electrician but I thought it as  
well to mention it. I have often been caught out with purchases  
overseas.


Sorry if this is a bit long winded. I am sure members of this group  
will provide corrections where appropriate.


Cheers

Good morning! It's 6:40 AM on Saturday (Concord, CA.). I am an
electrician by trade. As to the local, it should be some ware in the
Pilbara. I do not know exactly where I will be working. I will be
working out of the union hall. I don't have much control as to which
job I can take.

Thanks, Joe

I worked in Port Hedland for about 10 years as a Surgeon/GP/RFDS  
doctor and had a ball. Found the cyclones exciting (as long as you  
felt you were reasonably safe :-) )  and the scenery can be just out  
of this world as long as you were willing to travel hours and hours  
and hours :-(Temperatures can be high, we saw 57 on the inside  
thermometer but 42 is not uncommon. In one cyclone the anemometer  
recorded up to 212 MPH and then disintegrated :-). Got to know  
aborigines quite well and they are great people when not under the  
affluence of incohol. Where are you going and what is your profession?
