So if one was to ring '555' it wouldn't tell me? That is not cool. |

I know 3 is working on real time data usage but i suppose it doesn't really matter in this case.

Yes Caps get you more calls, but Yes Plans get you more data for the same cost, with fewer calls, cheaper call rates and other goodies.
Eg. The $80 cap has 700MB, as does the $60 Plan. The Cap gets you more calls. |

Thats bullshit, so we have to keep track of our calls by hand?
And I'm afraid of data usage. I don't need realtime updates, but daily sure would be nice. |

Yep. I'm all in for the $39 yes plan, 500MB data, 33c calls, roll over calls.
Will 500 MB be enough do you think?

I have the post-paid page in PDF format.
I have the pre-paid page in PDF format as well, however I am missing the table for call rates etc (but from memory it it was 35c flagfall, 78c per minute).
EDIT
Looks like decryption took my idea. Nice one.
See the first page of this thread boys.

It appears that Optus are running the iPhone cap plans the same as their regular cap plans... and with those plans there is *no* option to pay the monthly handset payments off in one go...
So going off that, there is no possibility to pay off the iPhone upfront. Monthly handset repayments all the way.
Besides, the monthly handset payments are too bad anyway. Actually they are pretty good. I mean, for a N95 8GB you are looking at $20/month on a 24month $49 cap. the 16GB iPhone is cheaper!!! |

If you exceed your plans included monthly data allowance, excess usage charges will be charged at $0.35 per MB or part thereof.
|
At least the excess isn't $2/MB that I've seen in the past. |

Thanks.

Different benefits,
Yes Caps:
Bigger Allowances
mostly focused on calls + smaller percentage of data usage
Yes:
more data
more variety in cheaper plans
bonuses such as 100 free texts
less focus on calls

I paid the $50 deposit, but didn't get an e-mail regarding store preference and/or priority queuing. Hopefully it arrives soon.
