Default Optus - Can I....

Hey guys,
new here, I have been reading this forum for a while now and decided to ask you knowledgable folks a couple of questions about Optus :P

1. I am a 4th year uni student. I am not currently working. I get centrelink and I have a credit card with my name on it. I pay my bills every month. Am I going to be approved for a 12 month post-paid $49 cap plan? Is there something I can bring as "proof" of my ability to pay a bill?

2. Am I able to sign up for a post-paid contract and use my credit card to pay for half the bill, and then Bpay for the other half? The reason I ask this is because I am a Uni student, and my parents give me $50 per month for phone credit, which I have to put on the card. I will be paying the phone payments myself. Looking over the Optus website it seems that it might be possible.

3. A few months into my contract, am I able to make a lump sum payment off of the mobile repayments? Or is this only at the beginning. I am hoping to go on a 12 month contract and I will be getting a scholarship payment in about 3 months.

I know I should probably call Optus and ask, but I am busy for a few hours and was hoping to get an answer by the time my lectures are over this afternoon :P

Thanks guys!
