$70/month (free 8gb iPhone OR +$4/month 16gb iPhone: $520 credit + 1GB data) or

$100/month (free 8gb OR free 16gb iPhone: $520 credit + 5GB data… YES 5GB! beat that telstra stinges)

So as predicted, the rumours are completely proven! These plans are cheaper than whats been offered by vodafone and optus (even though virgin is owned by optus), and RIDICULOUSLY cheaper than anything telstra has to offer.

Sadly I waited up all night constantly refreshing safari as soon as the clock hit midnight. Even sadder is that as I am already with virgin mobile, I will have to wait until 8am tomorrow morning to ring virgin to sort out upgrading my handset (samsung u700 that came with the cap plan, but purchased the 1st gen iphone from US unlocked).

Finally glad to see a semi-reasonable iPhone plan for australia, though hardly anything to compete with overseas telcos plan deals, but it’s at least a start.

$70 dollars a month ($550 worth of standard calls and texts, If i remember correctly..) and that also includes 1(one)GB of data.

For an extra $30 you get an additional 3(three) GB. So all up for $100 you get $550 worth of calls and texts, 4GB of data, and lets not forget the Iphone..

At least, thats what I heard….

Keep your eyes peeled laidies and gents.

P.S. Thats all on a 24 Months ‘contract’ ofcourse.
