Am on Optus (GSM), have always been so the issued number is an "Optus"

Planning a trip to China later this year and I'm trying to get my head
around the best setup for data over there. Minimum requirement is MMS
to update my phlog (http://www.phlog.net/user/OzDJ). Ideally, I'd like
full GPRS internet so I can upload photos via email, check my email

I have a Motorola phone that I bought for $40.
So far it is going good and it is my first phone.
I am just wondering, does any one know I bought a $49 cap and got $230 worth

Any reviews / comments on these two mobiles?

If you're overseas, and your phone diverts incoming phonecalls for
messagebank etc - should you be charged for the diversion at overseas rates?

I have a business mobile which is basically an old Nokia with a flat
battery which is set to divert calls to my personal mobile.  This is great
for calls, but if someone was dumb enough to SMS my business mobile, I
wouldn't get the message.  Is there a way to divert SMSs to my ...

Have a new Nokia 6225 CDMA. Two questions which I couldnt find answers
on the net for:

I purchased a 5510 as a prepaid pack in 2002, and I'm now giving it to
my dad. He wishes to change the security code, but the default code
(12345) as stated in the user guide does not seem to work (I never

TPP+ recharges still result in "Communic8 Southbank" being printed on the
credit card. How can this be fixed?

I rang 125111 earlier to find out if Telstra has GSM coverage at Uluru.
 I was telling the operator that I was having problems with the online
search facility for coverage.  (It's a bit hard to type in the name of a
