I've done some poking around on various websites, including virginmobile to see how much I currently spend, and am looking at iPhones, of course.

Currently, I'm spending about $30/month on phone calls, and I own my own phone outright. I paid $600 for it at the beginning of 2005 I think. I'd be looking at purchasing a 16Gb iPhone for (gulp) $849 and going on the $50/month cap, then in two months time, getting it unlocked for free.

For $50/month prepaid, I'd get calls at 78c/minute, vs 80c/minute on the $49/month contract, 500MB of data (vs 250MB on the $49/month contract).. I fail to see why one would want a contract...

Further reading also shows it will be cheaper to call the UK, USA, Canada or Singapore than it would be to call another Australian number (wtfbbq?)

Yeah, I've seen cheaper int. calls on Telstra pre-paid as well. I'm quite happy with my Freerunner for $430 outright, the only problem is I'm on a mailing list with Clare and M².
