No , they are not , iiNet are offering to their customers a special offer
for the 3 wireless connection for mobility and outside roaming and you can
only connect to the 3 network.

Well you are a different type of yank , you are more of an Aussie now ,
you have been educated and assimilated into the secret ways of the Aussie

anymore .
