It will work for voice and SMS - but you are responsible for configuring it for the Vodafone network for MMS use. IT may not support Vodafone live! or parts of it.

I hope you're not thinking of buying it at that price?!?!?

Parallel Imported have it for less.

We don't seem to have a Parallel Imported in Welly anymore, and I couldn't find it on the Vodafone site. I'll shop around for price if I decide to go for it - thanks for the heads up.

if you want any MMS or WAP settings for your vodafone mobile just go to http://wireless.vodafone.co.nz/ this will send you a text with automatic configuration settings, all you need to do is press accept when the text comes in.
