NewswireToday - /newswire/ - Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, 12/27/2007 - Apple iPhone working with prepaid providers in Australia by means of smart unlocking.

Apple has been able to maintain the hype, excitement and functionality of the iPod with the iPhone, the much awaited GSM mobile phone with the easy to use Apple look, feel and touch.

Consumers in Australia are not able to purchase the Apple iPhone directly from Apple which has meant the introduction of the underground community, who like their internet and Unix counterparts are always able to make a plan. The same held true for the Tivo, which in a matter of months the Australian hackers were able to establish OzTiVo, a hacked version of Tivo build to function in Australia.

Prepaid Earth hit the street in downtown Sydney, Bondi Junction, Bankstown and Melbourne where we interviewed a number of "iPhone hackers" and the results of our questions were very informative. "We love the rush of taking a big company like Apple and opening up it's technology for the masses to use" said one of the teenage kids. Another remarked "the internet is so powerful these days that I am able to buy the product online, send it to a US based shipping address and for a small fee get the goods relayed to me in Australia. I have a great little business going". Google is able to indicate hundreds of sites which sell and offer step by step Apple iPhone unlocking guides.

Most to the teenage market and the twenty something want to be consumers of the iPhone cannot afford post-paid mobile contracts and therefore pre-paid packages and offers best fit this demographics budgets. Most of all the Prepaid services in the Australian market place have proven to work with the Apple iPhone.
