oh yes to clarify, must be a GSM cell service

Only 3G and GSM is Vodafone.
Telecom don't have a GSM network - only 3G.
2 Degrees only have a GSM network - not 3G.
Any particular reason you need to have the GSM as well?

Will the I phone work with either extended 3G? I though most phones were Either 900/2100 OR 850/2100. With Vodaphone NZ on the 900/2100 and XT on 850/2100.
Not wishing to perpetuate myths, but everything I've seen about XT didn't inspire confidence if you want to rely on your phone for calls. May be worth checking.

2 Degrees are about to launch their 3G service, however they did say early 2010 so I wonder if it is delayed for some reason?Originally Posted by James 1077

We're on Vodafone with our iPhone. It's okay. But with all the horror stories I've heard about Telecom's XT network I wouldn't want to try it for awhile until they get the bugs sorted out.
Not sure about 2°.
Where are you coming from? Is your iPhone already unlocked (jailbroken?).

just to clarify: jailbroken and unlocked are 2 different things

good point, but I believe (mind I'm not an expert) that in order to unlock your iPhone you may need to jailbreak it. I think I heard something about that. But I'm really tired today so I could be making things up.

Jailbreak means using the hooky software, unlocked means paying the network you bought the phone from. You'd not normally do both.

No not true at all. O2 unlocked my iphone via a web request in about 5 days for no cost as I was on a monthly plan.good point, but I believe (mind I'm not an expert) that in order to unlock your iPhone you may need to jailbreak it.
