Just wondering how much you pay in telecommunication costs each mth?
australia is just far too expensive compared to other countries.
Iprimus
phone rental $29.95
Phone bill $20.00 (cap for $50 value of calls)
Internet 40G $89.95 (we d/l a lot of content so it's worth it)
bundle savings -$10.00
RACQ card discount -$5.00
Total $125.00 (best deal I could find)
Virgin Mobile
2 X $30 a mth capped plans which includes $140 worth of calls which inc video calling, sms and international calls and free V2V calls and sms 24/7.
We also got 2 free Nokia 6110 Navigator mobiles worth $599 each on a 24 mth plan. If we cancel out of our plans after 6 mths we have to pay pro rate of $417/24mths. So after 6 mths we have to pay out $312.
I use about $250 a mth in calls and hubby uses about $20 so I alwasy use his phone to make calls when we're together or we have to swap phones.
So $185 all up a mth. It's the best deal I have found but it's stills o expensive so just wondering what everyone else is paying??
Before I got my act together, we were with Telstra and paying around $200 a mth in phone calls, $70 internet and $60 in prepaid cards and having to buy handsets outright. So stupid. Now with caps, I hardly use the home phone.
add: I can see myself adding to the cost in the future for data to surf the net on the mobile ...but it's just too expensive atm. $10 for 300mb from Virgin will only leave me wanting more and spending more. If data becomes cheaper than i can see it replacing ADSL because will be able to use their lap tops to surf the net through WIFI on the mobile.
