UK T-Mobile G1 on 3G in Australia - 3 Mobile Network
Here’s picture proof, as such, of my G1 running 3G on the 3 network in Australia.
All that was required was to unlock the phone, and add the 3 mobile internet APN to the phone’s settings - as simple as adding a new APN with ‘name’ and ‘apn’ set to ‘3netaccess’ - I’m yet to add the gprs and mms APNs but they are just as easy. Once I’d done that, I set up my gmail account and it ran fine from the get-go. Everything works including compas mode street view. I’m glad I waited and bought the UK Version!
