Thanks Steven

I'd better get on to Optus this week about unlocking my iPhone as i'm away in a few weeks and don't want to be stressing out over it at the last minute.

I thought International Roaming was active by default on Optus? Something else I must check up on.

Thanks for the info.

Jane

Hi Jane

Optus says its standard turnaround time is 10 days, however they escalated mine because there wasn't 10 days between when I bought the phone and when I departed. I bought the iPhone on 11 August, and I had an unlocked iPhone on 19 August, but this involved 2 or 3 follow up calls after promised deadlines weren't met.

Now all I need is to have international roaming activated on the Optus SIM card - something Optus seems to be dragging their feet with. Also takes 10 days apparently, must be an easy number to remember, but 10 days has been and gone.

Cheers, Steven

Hi Steven

That's good to hear.

How long did it take from requesting the unlock to the phone being unlocked?

cheers

I can now confirm that my Australian-bought iPhone, unlocked by Optus, does work in Dubai, both voice and data, with an Etisalat SIM.

I did come across a shop in Dubai which is selling an unlocked G3 iPhone - but for about AUD $2,400 !

Cheers, Steven
