Will a sidekick phone work in australia?
I want to get a sidekick 2008, but i'm wondering if it will work in Australia with my sim card? Because I can't be with T-mobile... I am planning to buy an unlocked sidekick on e-bay. Will it work for me? and will I be able to MMS?

If the Sidekick lx 2008 is already unlocked then yes, you can use it in Australia and any other GSM carriers worldwide, however, only the phone is guaranteed to work. You can use the phone for texting and calling, but the data may not work. Sidekick phones have special data plans, which is now only supported by T Mobile.

You NEED to get back before it runs out, otherwise, you may need to apply again. A tourist visa will NOT allow you to work here.

If you have a permanent residency visa you should not need to worry about it. Permanent residency means you can live and work in Australia for the rest of your life. If you only have a temporary work visa then you need to leave before your visa expires and re-apply for another work visa. You are not allowed to work on a tourist visa and only allowed to be in Australia on a tourist visa for 3 months. If you stay longer than that and get caught on an expired visa they will deport you and you cannot enter for 5 years. If you are married to an Australian citizen then you can apply for a permanent residency visa through your spouse. If you have a particular type of job Australia is in need of workers for (like doctors) then you can apply for a permanent residency visa too. Australia has a huge shortage of skilled workers in certain fields. You can find out what these are if you go on-line and look it up. Good luck.

I dont get it??? permanent residency means you are a permanent resident...my husband just got his!!! I am not quite sure what the problem is??

If you have permanent residency and you're in Australia, it won't run out, so you must have something other than that. Perhaps you mean that you had permanent residency and then left Australia on a Resident Return Visa which expires in March 2010. If you have a BF111 visa label in your subclass 155 visa, it will remain in force indefinitely provided you return to Australia within 3 years of each departure. If you do not have a BF111 label, you must visit a DIAC office to obtain one, but you may have already left it too late to do so. You should contact the embassy or consulate in your current country of residence as soon as possible. If you have left Australia and stayed away too long, you evidently did not sufficiently value your Australian Permanent Residency and it will lapse. You will then need to start from scratch to obtain it again. If your Authority to Return or Return Endorsement expires, you will not be able to re-enter Australia and work until you are granted a work visa of some kind. Tourist visas are for non-working tourists - no one is allowed to work on a tourist visa, regardless of their former status. If you work whilst on a tourist visa, you and your employer will probably be charged with immigration offences; you will probably be deported and you will probably be excluded from obtaining any other Australian visa for 3 years or more.

Will a digital camera with a rechargeable battery bought in Japan work in Australia
Will a digital camera with a rechargeable battery bought in Japan work in Australia?
I want to buy a new camera from japan while im on holidays, will it work when i get back to australia?i know that i'll need an adaptor but i dont understand the voltage differences and if the battery charger will work here.

Almost all chargers sold today will feature a power supply that can take any voltage in the world. If not then you can probably find something that will work in oz on ebay
2 :
You'll probably be better off buying a camera where you are. Prices in Japan could be higher. Plus there maybe a problem with the warranty once you take it out of the country.Not to mention the added cost of buying a voltage converter.
3 :
You will probably need an adapter but usually the cameras come with such things incorporated... I bought a Nikon from US and I am using it in Europe with no problem. I just changed the power adapter and I am charging my camera battery simple. You should ask the camera salesman if the camera you want to buy has an adapter incorporated and if not how much cost one and where can you find it. Good luck

Will a japanese guitar pedal work in australia
Will a japanese guitar pedal work in australia?
If I buy a brand new pedal from Japan, will it work in Australia without destroying it, both physically and in sound quality?

yeh, i think it should! but you better call the seller and ask first!

You may need to call your power company, google the specs on the pedal and google to buy an adapter. If it operates on battery power (probably 9 volt), it will not matter. In 2000, Australia converted to 230 V as the nominal standard with a tolerance of +10% -6%, this superseding the old 240 V standard, AS2926-1987. In Japan, the electrical power supply to households is at 100 V. Eastern and northern parts of Honshū (including Tokyo) and HokkaidŠhave a frequency of 50 Hz, whereas western Honshū (including Nagoya, Osaka, and Hiroshima), Shikoku, Kyūshū and Okinawa operate at 60 Hz. To accommodate the difference, frequency-sensitive appliances marketed in Japan can often be switched between the two frequencies. In general, most of the world uses the 230V standard. This also means that standard 230V equipment can be used in most parts of the world, with only a minor change in the equipment's electrical plug for a specific country.
