Great lot of good the two phone agencies I asked.
Fone Zone transferred to number to a new SIM, but couldn't tell me the Telstra
number to ring.
The other local told me to contact the company that I bought it from.

All I had to do was ring Telstra on 125 111.

All done now. I hope the f....ing sod chokes on the Dopod. He sure won't be
making any phone calls on it.
