Hutchison is unable to say whether customers would be able to use unlocked iPhone handsets on its "3" network.
A number of Australians posting on online forums have claimed to be able to use their unlocked iPhone handsets on mobile carrier Hutchison's network.
Newly merged mobile telco VHA has announced it will extend Vodafone's iPhone 3G S to 3 Mobile Australia customers, who have previously not been able to buy an iPhone through its telco.
Three has launched a 3G SIM and data starter kit for those who want to get their iPhone from other carriers but use it on the 3 Network.
Australia's telecommunications industry is abuzz with strong speculation that Virgin Mobile Australia will start selling Apple's 3G iPhone handset in the next two weeks.
The ACCC is concerned that a Vodafone-Hutchison merger will stifle mobile competition, but after new figures reveal systematic deception by carriers it's prudent to ask: could the merger really make things any worse than they already are?
Singapore Telecommunications last week shed light on the difficult industry dynamics that lay ahead of VHA, the mobile phone business being formed from the merger of Vodafone Australia and Hutchison Telecommunications.
