Is there something else I need to do to get the SIM working in my iPhone, or should the phone automatically connect to the Telecom network once the SIM is inserted?

plambrechtsen: If the SIM is still active then it should just work.
If you email me pl at telecom dot co dot nz the IMSI serial number on the backside of the sim I can see if it's still active, and if not I can get it re-activated as prepaid, then you can go into the prepaid portal and topup.
AndrewMac: Might have 3G disabled (needs to be on) or might be locked to another network

Ah! I do have 3G disabled on that phone right now. I'll re-activate it and see what happens.
Is it not possible to use a Telecom SIM without activating 3G data, or is that only required for activating the connection on the phone?

It's not 3G Data, it's 3G.
Telecom's XT network is a pure 3G network, so if you disable 3G... You disable the whole network.
Glad to hear you're sorted :)

Right, thanks for the clarification.
I used to have a 2degrees SIM in that phone, and as I only needed that phone for TXTing and calling, it was easier to simply disable data altogether.

Turning off 3G does not disable mobile data well on Telecom it will stop everything Voice / data / SMS but on Vodafone / 2Degrees mobile data when then just be on the 2G packet switched network
