Optus to launch puny 1GB plan for Australian iPhone 3G?

Your IT - Mobility

Ok... so we have some unconfirmed pricing from Optus that could still all change before July 11.

But there's plenty we still don't know: How much will calls cost when you go over your allocated cap amount? How many text messages are included and how much will extra text messages cost? How much will you be paying per kilobyte, megabyte or gigabyte for additional data?

But it’s the latest bit of unconfirmed Optus pricing to have emerged, and while there are certainly some great elements to what I’m hearing, the data plan at 1GB should be doubled, if not tripled.

To see what 3 Mobile will charge in Hong Kong, and for more details on the Telstra iPhone 3G launch, see my previous story “3 Mobile slices prices and Telstra launches $0 iPhone attack’, while iTWire colleague Stephen Withers has the known, official details on Telstra’s iPhone pricing so far, although more details from Telstra (and Vodafone and Optus) are yet to come.

Vodafone and Telstra: you now have a better idea of what Optus is supposedly thinking of charging. Let’s hope you can do better. Heck, let’s hope Optus can do better too, and we can only wonder what 3 Mobile would charge in Australia if it could sell the iPhone, too!
