It's worth remembering that even though 3 has a really good deal when it comes to mobile data and pricing on their 3G network, as soon as you step away from that, you start roaming on Telstra's 2G network, and data starts costing $1.65 per MB. What does this mean? Data at $1.65 per MB - is there

Not sure about 3 call plans. I only use their mobile broadband these days. It is worth pointing out that Virgin Mobile are owned by Optus, and use the Optus network. This is the subject of the Gizmodo article. Recently 3 have also announced a way of using an unlocked iPhone on their 3 network.
