Will an Australian phone work in New Zealand?

Answer 1

Yes. As long as it is not locked to AT&T.

iPhone 3G or 3G S:

The iPhone will work on 2G on any network.

There is nationwide 3G on Telecom's XT Network, and 3G in metro areas on Vodafone's network.

iPhone 4:

The iPhone 4will work on 3G on any of New Zealand's networks.

Answer 2

Landline phones need to meet the NZ standards, which will differ from other countries. [e.g. the 999 of UK phones actually generates the same line pulses/tones as does 111 in New Zealand.] For a brief period after the market in NZ was opened to phone handsets from anywhere, I was involved in testing them against the standards - perhaps only about 50% passed - but generally with only minor problems.

The simple answer is suck it and see.

BUT I would recommend that every household in NZ has at least one landline phone. For in a disaster, the cell network will become overloaded quickly, and without mains power, will stop. And has done so in extremis.

Answer 3

yes, but not the other way around. Nothing from new zealand works in Australia

Answer 4

Optus and vodaphone 3g phones work on the 2degrees network
