So.. um.. The Iphone is kind of like the aids that is killing tech news. We seriously don’t want to read about it all the time. Can you report on things that are actually cool?

Angus,

Absolutely right - the process is a bit confusing. I managed to get mine working on the '3' network after I received my official "phone unlocked" sms from Optus.

However, I blame Optus for the complexity around this - The process itself, while lengthy, is fairly straightforward and works like a charm.. but hey - where are the instructions? If it hadn't been for the MacTalk forums, I would have never been able to do this. Sure, I could have called Optus and asked them, but one look at the forums tells you that only a couple of them got valid and confident answers from their support guys.

I am using my Optus iPhone with a Virgin SIM, but that doesn’t really count, does it?
