YES! All mobile phones MUST be approved by ACA & have a A-Tick label.

More info @

Extract from the above website...

"Consumers should also be aware that it is illegal to connect equipment that
does not carry the A-Tick label and penalties can be imposed."

Uh huh, so every foreign traveler who gets off the plane at Kingsford Smith
with a phone in their pocket has to head over to ACA and spend $100,000 on
certification or go to jail?

Just make sure that it is a GSM phone and covers at least 900/1800Mhz.

Ignore that post stating that it requires approval and an A-Tick label. GSM
phones imported for personal use do not require any approval or labels.

many thanks to you all
