I have been told by the NZ Telecom shops that this is not possible, but on the Sanyo website it is possible. Has Telecom NZ locked at the ability to do this? Here is the weblink to the Sanyo Website that says it is all possible. http://us.sanyo.com/wireless/handsets/index.cfm?productID=1404 Thanks in advance.

Please note that phones coming into New Zealand undergo heavy customisation for our services and network... overseas specifications mean very little...
As I understand it the Sanyo handsets are obtained through an agreement TNZ have with SprintNextel in the USA. The benefit of this is TNZ gets access to handsets at competitve prices. Although one of the downsides is not having as much control over the specifications. SprintNextel have opted to disable the modem functionality in the Sanyo handsets for some reason.
thanks for all the replies today. I fixed the problem in a roundabout way. Swapped to Vodafone and purchased a Nokia 6234 which can be used as a WCDMA modem.
