In Australia, we have an advantage over other countries in that we have several networks offering the iPhone. Of course, the downside of this is that there is a lot more information to try and digest before you make the decision of where your money should be spent.

Fortunately, reader Andrew has come up with an incredibly awesome iPhone plan calculator. Simply slide the scales to your approximate usage, and you’ll be given a solid guide of which plans will suit you in your iPhone purchase, including the monthly cost and the total cost of ownership.

If Pythagoras was alive today, this is exactly the kind of practical mathematics he would spend his time working on. If you’re looking for an iPhone, make sure you check this out before you empty your wallet.

[Numbers in a flash - Thanks Andrew!]

    Wow that just shows how crap out plans really are. I would have to spend at least $70 per month and only use 20 – 30% of the cap. What a waste.

    That’s fine and all, but they forgot the best carrier of all – 3 Mobile! You can get 1GB month + $350 worth of calls/sms for $49!

    Just buy a 16GB iPhone from Optus (pre-paid), get it unlocked for $80, and then you’re set!

    I’d like to share another resource – an excel spreadsheet that compares the iPhone 3G plans:
