iPhone 3G - Can we?

lashbear · 12-20-2008, 06:01 PM

Do any clued up LoTters know if an Aussie 3G iPhone can be used in the USA? Are the Aussie one different anyway?

We would want to connect two of them onto the one account so we can call each other as well as all of you.

Who would you recommend ? (not Cingular, we HATE them...) and do we have to sell our first-born to pay for it ?

All I know about iPhones and international use is that you need to be very aware of what data plan you're on if you use the internet.

The iPhone is exclusive to AT&T over here but right now they only offer service for the iPhones on a 2 year contract which I'm sure won't work for you, They offer a 'perfect' no contract level of plan for basic no frills phones that would work for your trip.

Based on the other responses, we will just re-use our old Virgin Pre-paid Mobile we bought last trip. We'll just get another recharge card for it and off we go !

I love my iPhone. I'm totally addicted. I blame mousepod.
