VHA has launched a $99 prepaid mobile broadband starter pack under the Vodafone brand. It includes a USB modem with pre-installed software (Windows & Mac), SIM card and 1GB data allowance if activated before 31 December 2009.

A new software upgrade for Telstra customers using the Blackberry Bold means better coverage and higher speeds, particularly in rural areas. But will this change have a large impact, and how does Telstra's pricing compare to the other telcos, and its pricing for the iPhone 3GS?

Vodafone is sending out mixed messages about the futuroe of the 3 brand in Australia following the formation of its VHA joint venture with Hutchison Australia.

Vodafone Australia has dropped the price of its prepaid mobile broadband starter pack from $149 to $129 ($119 if ordered online) and claims it is now the "best value" on the Australian market, but that may not be the case.

Anticipation over an iPhone 3GS launch is still not over for 3 Mobile customers who have to wait just over two weeks before they can buy one, with exact pricing still to come!

3 mobile broadband customers now receive a free 12 month subscription to AVG Internet Security.

Optus is offering the iPhone 3GS for $0 upfront on a (net) $69 plan. The change appears to be in response to a Vodafone offer.

As expected, Telstra has left the unveiling of its prices to the very last minute, refusing to get caught up in the lead up to the launch of a new iPhone, and has even managed some pricing surprises, although nothing to truly match Vodafone’s unlimited voice plan!

As predicted, iPhone 3G S pricing from Vodafone is virtually identical to the pricing it unveiled for the HTC Magic Google Android phone earlier this month, at $0 upfront on a range of plans including unlimited voice and the happy surprise of fee-free tethering in contrast to Optus. What are the details?

3 Mobile, now part of Vodafone Hutchison Australia (VHA), has finally acquired the right to sell the iPhone 3G S in its portfolio of phones, but unless 3 Mobile has a super deal that seriously undercuts Vodafone, why would you buy an iPhone from 3?
