i can't speak on behalf of optus because i have never used on of their caps/plans but with vodafone the flagfall is billed in the '$300' worth of calls, not as an extra.
I assume it is the same for most caps across most companies.
That is from my understanding correct regarding the cap plan, at least that's how I interpreted it anyway! It's a bit bad I'm not 100% sure myself but I guessed that's how it goes, that's how it worked with Vodafone for the past 7 years I was with them. Also I considered the 16GB phone but decided against it as I don't put that much stuff on my phone anyway, and really wanted it more for the applications and emails/internet.
Personally, I think the $49 plan is better value, you get $300 worth of calls and 250MB of internet usage, but the latter becomes redundant when you consider you get free internet usage if you connect to a WiFi, which I am 90% of the time. I think on the $59 cap they give you $350 worth of calls but 500MB of net usage, so no real benefit IMO unless you are a heavier user of the internet. Either way in most capital cities Optus have free WiFi so it's excellent coverage in the major CBD's. Otherwise it's the $79 cap, and you don't pay a cent for the (8GB) iPhone each month and get a lot more calls.
From what I've discovered, Optus is the cheapest and offer the best rates (for the iPhone anyway), otherwise if I didn't mind paying extra Telstra's Next G network is the quickest but you pay extra for the better service...
Uses the BoM for current temperature and forecasts, and therefore is very accurate.
Mines now showing 21, so it must be 25 outside I guess.
Cant find a silent mode for it , stange how they can make such a magnificent piece of equipment but miss some basic stuff.
I guess it's an IPod first first with a phone attached.
To get aorund the silent mode i leave the vibrating on, it's always on, and just turn the volume down.
Added - hang on the BOM says 21 so it is working oh goody, I can hardly wait to try and work other stuff out instead of have a life.
To get silent mode, flick the button just above the volume button located on the top left of the phone. Easy
BTW I am typing this reply through my iPhone right now
M34N - Thank you, thank you, thank you,
I must get a pair of thick black rimmed glasses and an IPhone T Shirt
And if you see orange at the silent button switch, it is on Silent!
Thanks Prospector. I've got one of those rubber covers, so I cant see that easily without taking it off.
I really recommend them makes the phone "sticky" wont slip out of your hands
You may like one of these "covers": www.bestskinsever.com
They are like a layer of..glad wrap (maybe a good word to describe it)..that sticks over the phone. Makes less slippy and its invisible and very strong. Only about US$8 too. I've had one on my phone for about 8 months, and just put a replacement one on last week as it was getting a bit scabby.
Had one on my iPhone 2G also, can't recommend them enough.
good link. You can't beat whirlpool for technology related forum talk
Has anyone worked out how to stop the screen from getting really greasy? I have a cover on it (film variety) but maybe it is just time to replace it?
I'm thinking about getting one.
I like how Commsec links to iPhone. Check my trades and do my banking with them would be easier.
Anyone have any references for good plans?
I'm very mobile, use email alot, but not multimedia, so probably don't need excessive mobile bandwith.
