Optus are the only company who have said they will unlock iPhones at launch. You will have to buy one outright – $729 for the 8GB model or $849 for the 16GB – and then pay an $80 unlocking fee or buy $80 worth of credit.
All up, that process comes in at $809 for the 8GB iPhone and $929 for the 16GB.
After unlocking the handset, you could choose another carrier and plan – including the 3 network. 3 has released competitive new cap plans, including the $69 cap with $650 included value.
Optus will waive the $80 unlock fee for users who have been with the network for 6 months, so there is a cheaper way to unlock the iPhone if you're prepared to wait.
Vodafone may also unlock handsets in the future, but has not specified what the fees may be. Telstra have been silent on the matter.
