Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / Australian Group / February 2004Optus changes SFoA
Optus have changed the SFoA recently, couldn't find any mention of it in here, thought it might interest people here (although if they haven't received it yet they'll see it anyway in their next bill). Basically the main changes are * Contract customers can't suspend plans * Out of contract customers can suspend plans at $5.50/month for max 3 months * $8 porting fee * Can't "backdate" new plan call rates to the current billing cycle (have to wait until next). Full details here: http://www.ausmobile.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=46&mo de=thread&order=0&thold=0  Signature--Jeremy Quirke http://www.ausmobile.com >Optus have changed the SFoA recently, couldn't find any mention of it in >here, thought it might interest people here (although if they haven't [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >months >* $8 porting fee 'cos I'm slack and can't be bothered looking it up - and because others may also be interested - in, out, or both ways? >* Can't "backdate" new plan call rates to the current billing cycle (have to >wait until next). > >Full details here: >http://www.ausmobile.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=46&mo de=thread&order=0&thold=0 > >Optus have changed the SFoA recently, couldn't find any mention of it in > >here, thought it might interest people here (although if they haven't [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > 'cos I'm slack and can't be bothered looking it up - and because others may also > be interested - in, out, or both ways?

You end up with a debt, and depending on the size of it, you will be - referred to mercantile agent - Baycorp credit file listed - refused credit again Your choice no i will (when the time comes to port out) ring up and argue, they will credit my bill and i may port back one day; but i am not going to pay $8 to port in or out (ever). > > I WONT PY IT, f.ck 'EM > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Your choice > no i will (when the time comes to port out) ring up and argue, they will > credit my bill and i may port back one day; but i am not going to pay $8 to > port in or out (ever). You don't sound old enough to be of age to be on a plan anyway. > You don't sound old enough to be of age to be on a plan anyway.

Then you are left with an $8 debt in your name assuming you pay the rest >Then you are left with an $8 debt in your name assuming you pay the rest That amount would get written off.

Pretty sure that this has been the subject of a TIO thingy and that there's a code by which the (telco) industry has to operate by. $20 seems to stick in my head as being the absolute minimum for which a listing can occur.

As always. > Don't have the time to research the detail. Yeah, you get so little for peddling that AIDS ravaged arse that you dont have time for anything else. > >Depends on the company. > > Nope.

Don't have the time to research the detail. BTW I was commenting on the write off, not the default listing aus.comms.mobile: >> >Then you are left with an $8 debt in your name assuming you pay the >> >rest [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Depends on the company. Well Baycorp Advantage don't list anything under $20 , so you can rightly or wrongly assume that $20 would be the minimum everywhere. SignatureA: Top posters.

Only amounts over $20 are (normally) returned in a credit enquiry. This can be a cumulative value of multiple debts of less than $20 though so the providers are free to register debts of less than $20. SignatureKwyj. (Remove your panties to reply by email) |
