Here are PDFs with rumoured official pricing for the iPhone 3GS. I'm pretty sure they'll be what we will see either Wednesday or Thursday, but of course, take it with a grain of salt until they're up on Telstra's website. MacTalk is merely the vessel for this information that entered my inbox.

Thank you masked, encrypted and proxied Telstra or Telstra reseller employee, you are doing your fellow geeks a righteous deed disseminating this knowledge.

Calling it official is jumping the gun a bit then, no?

WARNING: Telstra's caps dont include data

Sold. Telstra gets the win.

Gives us a kind of idea for "wholesale" price to Telco's I imagine. 32Gb is $990 IF customer signs a plan for 24months, makes an outright 32 about 1200 by my reckoning, discounted to 1100 or there abouts

$990 is what the reseller pays, $1042 is outright price.

Wow, that's only $50 in it for the dealer.

Ecto1 · #9 (**permalink**) 23rd June 2009, 09:00 PM

I will wait and see what voda and 3 have in store. Though the $100 plan sounds ok

appletoast · #10 (**permalink**) 23rd June 2009, 09:00 PM

terrible...

kevinnugent · #11 (**permalink**) 23rd June 2009, 09:00 PM

Now you know why they'd prefer to sell you a contract instead.

OK... but does this actually imply that they will be selling Outright on the day? $1,042 I can live with.

Same here, I will line up for that, otherwise I am going the $19 cap on Optus for 12 months...

allcreative · #13 (**permalink**) 23rd June 2009, 09:03 PM

Hmmm.... yeah Daniel.... I suppose an added bonus with the Optus deal is you get a bit of phone use out of the SIM - even as a spare - for a hundred bucks more - and you know they will be selling them on the day.

My thoughts as well, plus I can pop it in for weekend use etc / holidays etc for when I do not want to be annoyed by clients...

I can't believe people are bitching about Optus's crap service and still wanting to stay with them, why not enjoy great coverage and speed and 850UMTS with Hellstra for a little more.

If your going to be raped why not by Hellstra and not Optus?

FYI:
Telstra Cap Plans:

3G and Next G Cap Plans, mobile plans, mobile phones - Telstra

And Data Packs.

3G and Next G Browsing Packs - Telstra

joemac · #17 (**permalink**) 23rd June 2009, 09:08 PM

Hurry up, Voda.
You're killing me!

You only need to

Two things, chasbois. You've never heard me bitch about Optus. I like their coverage (it's the only telco that works here at home) and 2. People are going to grab the $19 Optus Plan - unlock the phone and take it to another telco and use the $19 worth of calls as a bonus for 12 months.

Could not have said it better myself, My Optus sim will go in the draw and I will pop in my Next G Telstra Sim that work pays for including data, happy days!

Not directed at you.

I bitch about Optus all the time for starters..and the MacTalk podcast is full of Optus Bitching, and also on the forums.
