Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
In US dollars, 450 minutes a month of voice minutes and 5000 nights/weekend minutes costs $39.99 per month.
900 minutes with unlimited nights/weekends costs $59.99 per month, 1350 minutes costs $79.99, and an ‘unlimited minutes’ plan costs $99.99 per month.
Add $30 per month for a data plan, and you get unlimited data.
You do need to pay extra for text messages, and there might be other taxes to pay, and the $199 8GB and $299 16GB iPhone 3G prices must also be paid, but it’s still easy to see just how much more Canadians are being charged for voice and data than US users.
So now that Canadian iPhone voice and data plans are known, let’s hope that Australian iPhone plans will be much better value.
With two confirmed carriers (Optus and Vodafone) and potentially four carriers in total (with the expected but not confirmed addition of Telstra and Three Mobile), Australia's much more competitive telecommunications market still gives some small hope that Australian iPhone pricing won’t be an iRipoff!
