oh that's interesting! i'll have a look. would be nice if i can use my old number.

1.25 GB data, can rollover credit for 1 month
credit includes international calls (unlike telstra and optus)

Where did you get this? Seems amazing but cant seem to find anything for that price that gives 1.25 GB now!

E.g. http://www.vaya.net.au/?option=Mobil...=Power%20Plans


Thanks for this- I think the Vaya $18 per month plan is the best I can find. Just paid $10 to Optus for 5 days of unlimited everything whilst I look around a bit and get a permanent address! :)

Hi mate, can you tell us more about the $10 for 5 days of everything deal you had with Optus ? I can't find it on their web site and it sounds like just what I'm looking for.
