All of our phones are completely unlocked. We believe in freedom of association here at Simply Mobiles.

They will work on all networks that Australian mobile phones are authorised to work on. So yes, they will work on all the standard networks with Optus, Telstra, Vodafone, Three - whoever!

None of our phones come with any external network branding however some handsets may have preconfigured internal software for use on certain networks, this will not impact on your ability to use the handset on any Australian network and in many cases can be removed free of charge by downloading a software update from the manufacturers website.'

It's basically passing the buck to SE.

They said: They will work on all networks that Australian mobile phones are authorised to work on. i think here's the nuance... they didn't tell youthat it would work on all networks... they said on all Australian networks...:( in a way they didn't lie... but they didn't tell you clearly that your phone should be simlocked...
