Re: Telstra bumps iPhone plans to 6GB!
Hi Mart, this appears to be only an introductory offer that expires in 1 November. Shame. http://www.telstra.com.au/mobile/phones/iphone/pricing.html The 6Gb costs $129 per month and includes $1500 of calls The $49 plan includes 500Mb data and $400 of calls Regards, Eugene -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au inline: (null) 4.tiff On 03/08/2010, at 8:15 PM, Martin Hill wrote: Wa-hey, Telstra is finally getting a clue and giving some pretty good deals on larger data packs for the iPhone 4: • $49 ($400 call allowance) + 1GB data = $58.50 • $49 ($400 call allowance) + 3GB data = $63.50 • $49 ($400 call allowance) + 6GB data = $78.50 I understand they also don't charge extra to enable tethering, so you could use the fast speeds of NextG to get excellent wireless internet connectivity for your other computers.

Re: Telstra bumps iPhone plans to 6GB!
No, the end of that para in the Telstra conditions states: …. Bonus data allowance applies for the full term of the customer's eligible contract plan. If the customer's eligible contract plan is cancelled, the bonus offer will cease to apply. It seems the _offer_ ceases on the 1st November (unless extended by Telstra) peter meyer 0408 902349 pmo...@westnet.com.au On 03/08/2010, at 9:47 PM, Eugene wrote: Hi Mart, this appears to be only an introductory offer that expires in 1 November.

Re: Telstra bumps iPhone plans to 6GB!
Ha! Peter beat me to it, :-) But this is what I was going to say: On the contrary, this is what the fine print on that very sameTelstra page says: Bonus data allowance applies for the full term of the customer's eligible contract plan. So the only thing that finishes on Nov 1 is the ability to sign-up unless extended by Telstra. So, as long as you sign up before Nov 1, you get to stay on the larger data plan till the end of your 2 year contract.

Re: Telstra Announces iPhone Pricing
Looks like the interest has brought down the Telstra mobile website(!) $30 per month 2 year contract: upfront cost of - $279 for the 8GB iPhone model - $399 for the 16GB iPhone model $80 per month 2 year contract: - 8GB iPhone free $100 per month 2 year contract: - 16GB iPhone free All plans include free Wi-Fi access at Telstra hotspots Considering Telstra's website still says their cheapest NextG plan is $49 per month, the $30 per month deal is impressive. However, i think I've found out how much extra they charge for data: - $5 per month = 5MB of data!!! - $29 per month = 80MB of data $1 per MB excess data charges bloomin heck, the highway robbers - that's as bad as they charged for GPRS. Here's hoping they actually update these prices for the iPhone :-( Unfortunately it looks like Telstra NextG may be the only network in Australia supporting full 3G speeds of the iPhone outside of metro areas (as Neil mentioned), not to mention Telstra’s wider coverage and faster NextG network. damn. CAUDIT is apparently in the process of negotiating special corporate plans with Optus (and maybe Telstra) so hopefully those of us at the various universities around Australia will be able to get iPhones on nice cheap corporate plans. -Mart -- For more information see: http://www.telstra.com.au/nextgnetwork/iphone.htm http://www.telstra.com.au/abouttelstra/media/announcements_article.cfm?ObjectID=42817 Telstra and Apple to bring iPhone 3G to Australia on July 11 Media Release 30th June 2008 Telstra, Australia's leading telecommunications and information services company, and Apple® today announced that the highly anticipated iPhone 3G™ will be available to Telstra's over 9 million Australian customers on July 11. iPhone 3G™ combines all the revolutionary features of iPhone with 3G networking that is twice as fast* as the first generation iPhone, built-in GPS for expanded location based mobile services, and iPhone 2.0 software which includes support for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync and runs the hundreds of third party applications already built with the recently released iPhone SDK.

Re: Telstra and iPhone
Dear Norm and others, There appears to be a huge management/administrative problem with Telstra at the moment. I spent 3 months without a land line because they stuffed up removing an ISDN connection. No apologies just glib automated email responses and 5 hours of confused consultants.

Re: Telstra and iPhone
Hi... Like Apple, Telstra are unlikely to comment on future plans that are important to their business, and they're unlikely to let their frontline helpdesk people do it either. Amongst other things they have to work out how to support visual voicemail and what they're doing about the fact that they already have a music store that's not compatible with the iPhone :). Why rush an announcement when they can watch the Optus/Vodafone feeding frenzy whilst they both try to establish their pricing structure? Then they can price theirs accordingly. http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=991785 I'm sure you'll be able to get an iPhone on Telstra (yes, they know what they are) Probably the longer you wait the better plan you'll be able to get!
