3's pricing is out bitchez and hoes

iPhone Pricing

its about time...
hmm, might go for $14 on $49 cap with 750MB data..

btw, i dont get the last row, spreading the cost over 24 months?? does that mean for the 3GS 16GB its $40 p/m with no included calls??

 

[johony]

Mediocre IMO.
Weren't they supposed to be better than Optus and Voda?

Still, the existing customer offers are okay.
Meh, doesn't really matter to me now anyway, I left 3 for the 32gb 3GS on Optus Timeless $99 (Still easily the best offer on the market for the 32)

yeah, i definitely thought it might've been seeing as they had extra time; but i guess not. i'm an existing customer so it doesnt matter anyway.

btw, i dont get the last row, spreading the cost over 24 months?? does that mean for the 3GS 16GB its $40 p/m with no included calls??

it refers to existing customers who might want to just add the phone on top of their existing contract or plan. essentially its the outright cost of the phone itself (with 1gb data) over 24 months. plus interest.

okay, i really don't get why everyone says to stay away from optus? i have no problems with them at all? i don't get a choice though, so yeah, was just wondering what's so apparently bad about it?

optus coverage is complete fail

i got a hiptop for my birthday from my mum, then i got an iphone 3gs from my dad. i prefer the iphone alot because the apps are so addictive, but if its internet that you want a phone for you should get the hiptop. its a $30 plan with unlimited internet and unlimited txt to any network.
im selling my hiptop for around $300 o.n.o if you would like to pst me

:/
any way out? or is it one of those "pay $500 to get out of this cruddy contract plus the price of a phone you no-longer want" jam

 

[johony]

nah, i'm just going to get the iphone outright, then sell my 5800 or give it to brother/mum. annoying though, because its something i wouldn't have had to pay for if i waited a bit.

The hiptop is a piece of crap designed to attract dumbass 12 year olds and people who don't know better.
They break, are hard to use, are motorola (>_<) and aren't worth anywhere near what they're selling them for.

I really wanna buy an iPhone outright, but on the Optus site it says they are OUT OF STOCK - does this mean they are out of stock only on the online store?
hmmm maybe it'll be better if I buy direct from apple, since its $20 cheaper than optus - unless optus can give me some awesome bonus.

 

[jaredtomas]

Vodafone is still best value IMO.

I can't remember if I mentioned this, but if you're an RAC/NRMA/RACV etc. member you get 10% off your bill + 2 months free if you sign up for Vodafone.

sup guys
if you haven't noticed 3 have dropped their prices probably due to the sea of complaints on whirlpool

anyone getting one tomorrow? i might call india today to see if i can get the cost shaved down as per a loyalty discont.

 

[lpodnano]

I'd only get the iPhone for its apps.

 

[Kiim2507]

Yeah you should get it. I love mine except for poor battery life and shitty camera but the apps make up for it.

Yeah, only found out about that after i got there... and WTF, there was a massive line outside the 3 store on the friday, they only had 20 iphone 3gs 16gb and 10 iphone 3gs 32gb... had no chance and its still out of stock >.<''

there was also a special offer to current 3 members to upgrade for only $25 (iphone 3gs 16gb) on any existing plan....

 

[danz90]
