  • We have no idea what type of phone you have or what service plan you are on, so we have no idea if it will work in Australia. Maybe if you gave us some more information....

    That ultimately depends on your phone more than anything.  If you are a prepaid user.  More than likely not.  If you are a postpaid user, it might.  Whether or not that costs you extra, depends on your plan. 

    With Australia, they passed a law last year allowing Australian wireless providers to block devices and models that are not sold by their carriers after November 2nd 2024 in conjunction with their 3G shutdown.  The reasoning is; If 000 (911) service from your device defaults to 3G, it not work in Australia and your device will not be allowed to connect to an Australian cellular network because of that.
