Ok, when is the iphone actually going to come out (real date not just June)? Also where there be AIM or ichat on this device, or is it just e-mail.

Yes. If the Mobile Email application is on the new phone, you will need to set up your account. If the Mobile Email application is not on your new phone, and you did not delete your email account from the Mobile Email application, you will continue to receive "new mail" alerts. Your phone will not be able to read the alert, and it will appear as a garbled text message (containing text "OZMAIL" in the message).

If you have SIM contacts you can transfer them over to the phone by using the SIM Manager or if your phone does not have one, the regular Contacts program itself will have an option to copy from SIM to phone. If you have a lot of contacts on your SIM card, you can easily automatically import all SIM contacts by using a small utility like SIMImp.

A sim free mobile is just a mobile phone in its purest form, as it was manufactured. When a mobile is built, it isn't put together with any contract or company network in mind; it's just a brand new mobile phone ready to be used with the sim card you choose to insert. It's a bit like your own new computer before you had an internet provider or an account set up. It's important to differentiate between sim free mobile phones and unlocked phones, which are by definition tampered goods.

Remove the battery pack, located under the battery cover on the back of the phone. With the metal contacts facedown, align the notch on the SIM card with the notch on the SIM slot and insert the SIM card. If SIM is inserted correctly, you will not be able to see the metal contacts after inserting the card, because they are facing away from you. Replace the battery pack and battery cover then turn on the phone. If SIM was installed properly, you will be able to begin making calls.

The default SIM PIN for your phone is 0000. If you enter this and the phone does not allow you to continue, the SIM PIN has been changed. If this occurs, you must have the SIM PIN reset by a local service center. Please call 1551 for additional information. If you incorrectly enter the SIM PIN into the phone three consecutive times the SIM will become locked. If this occurs, please call 1551 with one of the customer care representatives to assist your in unlocking the SIM.

You can either ask your mobile phone supplier or insert your UM+ SIM card into your phone and switch it on. If a normal screen is displayed your phone is unlocked. If the screen displays an error message such as "Enter Subsidy Code" or "Phone Restricted" or asks to enter a code other than the PIN code your phone is probably SIM locked.

No. Flashing does not affect a phone's sim- lock. That means that if your phone is unlocked before flashing, it will be unlocked after flashing, and if it is locked before flashing, it will remain locked after flashing.

Please note the error and call 1551 for additional assistance.

On many phones it would be better to store your phone numbers on the sim card. By doing this you can change your sim card to another phone and still have access to your phone book. If your phone does not have enough memory to do this, you can use the phone's internal memory or a combination of both.

All of the cellular phones we rent and sell are unlocked, that is, not "locked in" with any specific provider or SIM card. Therefore, as long as the frequencies are compatible, you can use any SIM with your phone. If you have purchased or rented your handset through another source, particularly one of the major carriers, you will most likely not be able to use a different SIM card in your phone.

SIM Free means you get the phone without the line (or the GSM chip / SIM, that goes with it). It also means that the phone is not locked to any particular network. You need to check the frequency of your network is available on the phone you want to buy.
