The complete package, with payg sim (not just the handset), was around that
price in Perth in Feb 99 (prob $299).  Does the $99 price include the payg
sim with a certain amount of call time already on it?  That's a pretty good
price.  If they are now locked, how much does it cost to unlock them and how
soon can this be done buying the phone?
