Telecom will be accepting SIM only connections to the new W850 network, however it will be a best effort service, i.e. Telecom and its partners will not provide any support for handset related enquires from those who have not purchased or obtained a Telecom approved handset.

tonyhughes: Just to further clarify - handset must be 850MHz 3G, - 850MHz GSM is not good enough.
Wills1: Will the N95 imported work on the new network?
Would like to put my current sim in one of those. But not at Telecoms prices.

nzbnw:Wills1: But not at Telecoms prices.
What’s that meant to mean? Telecom subsidise all their CDMA phone’s, including prepaid. My guess is this practise will continue with the new W850 network. AFAIK Vodafone does not subsidise their open term / non contracted RRP’s.

It means Im not going to pay telecom prices for a handset. I don't use a plan, and Im on go onebill, So a new phone will not be subsidised for me unless I sign up to a contract wihich I am not preparied to do. I make 0 calls.
Either Import, or get wifey to buy the handset with her T number from the retail store.

n00dy: another possible issue is that you would not have a warranty on an imported phone & I dont think Telegistics (Telecom's repair devision) will accept an overseas invoice as proof of warranty, on top of that I think the CG act excludes imports. I would rather buy a phone from Telecom and get that piece of mind as well as that after sales service
