Dave - So from what you saying, the cap can be exceeded? I thought a cap was exactly that?

It depends whether you have a soft cap or a hard cap. A soft cap will allow you to go over the cap limit and you then pay for each call as per the call rate charges of the cap plan. A hard cap will allow a certain amount over the cap limit and then calling out will be barred. If you are going for a cap plan, make sure it is a soft cap (most of them are)

I am on a $59 optus cap which gives me $350 of credit...and a dopod 838 (which is same as the i-mate jasjam)

working for telstra i can tell u they are the best. they may not have the cheapest plans out but if u bundle it with your homephone u reep massive benefits.....and the best thing is...when u take up any business plans....all call rates are 11cents for 30 seconds.......try beat that!! and all u need is a ABN....u could even use Telstras which can be found on google :(

i wont even mention how Next G is gonna destroy all other competitors........and i wonder how everyone is gonna cope with CDMA when it gets phased out....they all gonna have to turn to telstra.....and dont worry if ur on CDMA with telstra we are upgrading everyone to the Next G network with a brand new phone for FREE!

word!

which department are you at?

Thanks for all the info guys and the links too. Time to make a decision on it. Optus has the blackberry on a good plan that I like. Telstra has the coverage and the history and Vodafone also has some good deals.

Cheers all :huh:

lol dont get too excited. Optus has got some awesome stuff in their pipeline, when that is released it'll be just as good as Telstra's service.

3G is way overdue as it is. Some one needs to crack the whip cause it should have been done by now.

But yeah once Telstra goes 3G, everyone else is fcuked

no it wont. optus is going"sole" in their 3G coverage in some up-coming areas (ie. pissing off Voda). it wont be of any competition to telstra's NextG network.

telstra has gone 3G for quite a sometime now.... yes, both WCDMA2100 and WCDMA850

where is telstra WCDMA2100?

Optus is 2100 and so is Hutch. Telstra were the only ones to go 850...make that the world, (expcet one carrier in the US)

I wasnt aware of any 2100 real deplyments by Telstra. I'm intrested as it relates to somthing I'm working on over the next few months.

telstra is the half owner of the hutch 3G network at the moment (joint partnership). telstra is currently budiling the 3G network for Hutch nation-wide. when there is no hutch 3G coverage, you get put on telstra GSM900 network.

optus and voda is the other partnership in the other WCDMA2100 world.

what will you be doing over the next few months?

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
