5MB allowance? WOW, Telstra sure are good to its customers. And $70 credit on an $80 plan? Amazing! How do they even make a profit with such great deals? Please note, I am in no way being sincere, but extremely sarcastic. Just thought I'd add that incase you didnt get it...

I vowed to stay with Vodafone after being a customer with them for five years. But their pricing disappointed me. And telstra... jeez talk about a rip off! 5Mb... and they charge $1 for every extra mb you use... ridiculous! I went on $19 cap plan with optus and im given 100mb free! Congrats to optus on giving somewhat reasonable pricing!

Telstra have lost the plot - 5Mb of data ? That would last the "average" user about a week if that, and the excess charges are horrendous. Vodafone are worse ($0.49c/kb !!!) for the same data cap. Optus is far more reasonable, but still not brilliant. How do you keep tabs on your usage ? Can you block data when you hit the cap ? We NEED an unlimited data plan - say $30 on top of your voice plan, and you pay retail for the phone.

The iphone gives the view of how much data you have used. You need to work out your billing cycle, so for example mine is from the 4th to the 3rd of the following month. On the night of the 3rd I have a reminder to reset my data usage counter. You can also remove your data settings if you hit is but I am not worried. I am a pretty heavy user of the iphone and in a week I have used about 50 meg at most, I get 850 per month so still have around 650 not used. no need to worry yet :)
