Mobile phone

Hey guys and gals,

Wondering if anyone has some input for me. I currently have a HTC HD7 that i obviously bought in Aus. Its not locked to a network, would i be able to use it over there? Thoughts? 

Cheers,
Brett

Yes a lot of companies use sim cards over there, just be cautios because you get charged to receive calls as well as make them.

Re: Mobile phone

The phone will work, as they use sim cards they have the same networks as us, your phone will work on there networks...
heck your telstra sim card would work on roaming over there... it would cost you 60 bucks a minute but it would work.
