Is my Telecom E71 compatible with the Exetel network in Australia?

I wondered about buying and using an Exetel data sim to avoid Telecom's horrendous data charges.

Cheers

Just use Telstra Next G but yes your E71 should be fine on Exetel

Exetel appear to be a MVNO on the Optus network.

This means a Telecom NZ E71 will work but a Vodafone E71 would give better performance since it's 900/2100 3G which is the same as what Optus have.

Telstra's Next G network is 850/2100 and would be better suited to your handset (which is 850/2100)
