If it's not locked to the NZ network, it should be fine.

Stick a sim in it and try it.

It is still in NZ so i cannot check it.
If it is locked can i take it to vodacom and unlock it?

I think v3g meant to get your friend in NZ to slot in a SIM card from a different NZ network [not Vodafone], and see if that works.

If the data card is network locked, your friend should get it unlocked by Vodafone NZ before sending it to you.

For R500 you should be able to buy a local 3G card. Or not?

I was more thinking bout getting a 'pre-owned' 3G card from another forumite.

On that point, what is the going rate for a 3G card? Not a new one, obviously.
