Why do you think that you would have to unlock your phone. When you are in
Australia, the phone will 'roam' onto one of the local networks.

You might want to consider this option:

Vodaphone is now offering a phone for $29. with $20 pre-paid calls.
When you use that up you can reload with any network, not locked into
Vodaphone. Cheap option for travellers who only want a phone while
they are in Australia.

Tom,
that sounds an interesting option - do you know the name of the package?

Sorry, all I saw was an article in the SMH about this. I guess you
could go to any Vodafone store and ask for it.
