Up and coming mobile operator AmaySIM knows that Australians love their cap plans, so has added to its pay-as-you-go offerings with a $40 a month cap plan that looks pretty tough to beat.
Vodafone has decided it wants its prepaid customers to spend more time on their phones. It’s just announced a new prepaid plan called “Vodafone All-Time”, that offers unlimited calls to Vodafone and 3 customers, unlimited text and unlimited access to social network sites.

iOS 4.3 not only brought WiFi tethering to Apple devices, but it also brought the spotlight onto the carriers offering tethering services. In particular, the fact that Vodafone’s Infinite plans don’t include tethering in the bundled data.
Optus has always been the best value option when it comes to getting yourself an iPhone – it was just a question of whether the network could handle the extra load the phone put on it. But that value changed today when the Telco took away the ability to pay off the handset over the life of your contract for all plans under $79 a month.
