Would be very difficult for Telstra to take action against an
individual that just roams here as opposed to a company breaching a
contractual agreement here in Australia.
Remember, Telstra tries to kill the competition. They don't try and
kill people from using its network.

Fair enough - you're right that it would be pretty cumbersome to police
international roamers.
But I think the point of Telstra's lengthy testing is to pre-empt bugs that
might cause disruption to *their* customers. If an Orange customer called
125111 saying they were having trouble roaming to Telstra, I'm sure the CSR
would tell them to shove it.

And rightly so, the customer belongs to Orange and is Orange's
responsibility.

So Telstra wouldnt care if Orange chooses to flog a handset
thats still got some warts in it on the Telstra network, fuckwit.
If Orange started snivelling about problem with that handset
when roaming, they'd just be told that they started flogging
that handset too early and that the problems are their problem.

Telstra would be as polite as you are if that handset was causing
problems on its network.

Corse it wouldnt, cretin. The most that might happen is
that Orange customers cant roam without some warts.
