It's to screw you over. What would be better is $30 which includes 500 mins + 500 txts per month to any australian mobile simple!! Look out for it in a couple of years.

Agree with all the comments about Telstra. As much I'd love to switch they have hands-down the best coverage - particularly out here away from the city. If I lived in suburbia I'd probably go with Voda.
What sort of cost is involved with a smaller gig one Hutch? The OH wants to get one when we arrive, and will probably look at buying outright. 8 gig will probably do him...

Actually Telstra will sub a handset on a 24 month contract. My iphone 3GS 32Gig cost $530. That retails in the apple shop for over $1k. I pay no more on top of that other than my normal $49 cap and a data pack. You don't have to do the whole iphone plan thing.

What about Vodafone?

I have 2 phones both unlimited calls (any numbers) national and local
unlimited texts national and international (outbound).
2G downloads per month (not that I get anywhere near that)

Its about $200 a month or $100 each per month

PS I let the wife have one

Sounds quite good, will need to wait and see who provides the best coverage in the Toowoomba area...

Its a N97 Nokia handset with Vodafone but through Crazy John. The tariff changes every month or so. But we went for a higher tariff with free phone. The next day we dropped to the lower tariff (but retained advantage of cheap ie no cost phone).
