I am with Telstra GSM and am looking to get a Dual Mode (WCDMA/GSM)
quad band phone. This is so I can use it in Japan/Korea as well as
everywhere else in the world (GSM).
Any phone recommendations out there?

Hi.. I want the TV.. can i byo mobile?

My mate was backing up his Nokia phone (not sure of the model) using a
program I have never seen.  I asked if he could back up my phone also
in case it ever gets lost.
When he did it the computer said the connection 2 my phone is lost.

I remember seeing in one of the Optus mobile newsletters a couple of years
ago Optus had a service that would recognize songs - it was a number you
could call up and play the audio down the line. Anyone know the details on
this?

If im with say telstra, and i want to port my number to somebody else on
another carrier. Can i authorise the port(by signing release forms?) and the
other party sign an application form? or does the new lessee need to be the
lessee of the number to be ported as well?

It seems that these type of companyies think that we the consumer can
stay home to answer all of the call on our phones so they can give us a
new mobile phone or goods as such. I was fed up with this and thought
that there must be something we can do to fight back and anoy them as

Senator "Useless" Coonan has released a discussion paper on the proposed "Do
Not Call" register (the plan to thwart telemarketers).
However, note that in the discussion paper, there is talk of individuals and

I've recently been given an old pager, one where I can change the
capcodes/frequencies on the unit. Unfortunately I don't have the money
