  Warning about optus I went on a business plan with Optus for 2 Iphones, an 8gb and a 16gb. So on the morning they were meant to be delivered I stayed at the office to wait for them to arrive, when the courier got there at 3pm he gave me the box all was well, it was a big box i naturally assumed that there were 2 phones in it. Wrong. Just one 8 gb phone. So after spending 20min on hold i got on to customer service and they transferred me to shipping. They told me there was a "Computer problem" and they would get there IT department to look in to it, this would take 3 days. 5 days later the currier came to the door again, so finally i had my second iphone, but no it was another 8Gb. Back on the phone, seems there was another computer error. We’ll send you the 16gb in 3 more days, which will probably mean a week, oh and if you wouldn't mind taking the 8gb to an Optus store in the mean time. Do you think this is grounds to cancel the contract?

  i would like to get an iphone, but there pricey! it was only about $300 to make the phone & their charging this much, but there's a 4GB but it's a few hundreds cheaper. The plans are just nasty payments, your better of paying it outright! For sure i'll be paying outright. In the long end, you won't be able to keep up with the payments, if you get a plan. If you can't afford it outright. I think optus would be best to go with, cheapest i've seen & better prepaid-plans.

  So far all of the plans are overly expensive. The cheapest Optus option will cost $960 over 24 months and the cheapest option on Telstra costs a whopping $999! Although it is Telstra and it does cost more i prefer it because the telstra deal comes with free unlimited access to their massive wireless hotspot access (all over the city and in every maccas and starbucks). Now the saving begins :(. Please someone give me a better deal!!!!!

  no one has commented on the fact that with optus even on a contract the iphone will still cost about $600, according to optus website you can pay for your iphone using monthly payments on the $19 cap plan on a 1 year contract payments are $51 a month ($612) over one year, this is in contrast to telstra which on a $30 dollar plan cost only $279 so for $10 extra month ($120 over a year) you get the same iphone for $333 cheaper, does anyone know if you can pay for the iphone at time of purchase on a contract with optus, will it be cheaper this way. if not i will be going with telstra or vodafone.
