The iPhone is back in business
By: David M Williams
Previously I bemoaned the telco’s lack of iPhone vision for enterprise customers. Despite Apple touting push mail as a business benefit, it seemed impossible to get an iPhone and use it with an existing SIM card or company plan. Not so, the powers that be have changed their mind and I’m happy to report my wishes came true. The iPhone is back in business.

Virgin pops iPhone cherry with massive 5GB bang!
By: Alex Zaharov-Reutt
Virgin Mobile, a subsidiary of Optus, has finally launched the iPhone 3G as widely predicted, but with the surprise of a ginormous 5GB data plan – the first decent iPhone data plan yet. But with pricing for the 16GB and the 8GB model on the $100 plan identical, why would anyone bother with the 8GB unit? And what about concerns that Virgin Mobile’s broadband network is “not reliable"?

Telstra increases data limits on lowest “most popular” plans!
By: Alex Zaharov-Reutt
The Aussie mobile data revolution is affecting even Telstra, perhaps not at the much faster speeds than we’re seeing at 3 Mobile, Optus and Vodafone, but affecting them nevertheless, boosting the $29/80MB plan to 300MB, amongst others. But when will Telstra announce data cap increase for its more expensive 1GB and 3GB plans?

By: Alex Zaharov-Reutt
3 Mobile has launched iPhone specific plans for those with unlocked iPhone 3G models, challenging the incumbents Optus, Vodafone and Telstra with 1GB and 2GB plans at low rates – but given how often a 3G iPhone can drop to 2GB for data, is 3 Mobile worth the risk?

Vodafone nicely slices international roaming prices – cool!
By: Alex Zaharov-Reutt
Vodafone is proactively slicing the price of international mobile roaming charges, which consumer or business travellers overseas on the Vodafone network will surely love, with a special deal for China during August and the Olympics.
