Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / Australian Group / August 20043 Pre Paid
Any one know is a sim only pre paid plan is available? > Any one know is a sim only pre paid plan is available? Doesn't look like it. Same as in the UK, but if the Brits' experience is anything to go by, it won't be long before SIMs (split from their original pre-paid bundles) start appearing on eBay. If you want insider info, there seem to be some H3GA punter/s lurking on ausmobile.com What I want to know is, given the price premium added to 3 Prepaid calls made outside 'video zones': - will the higher rate apply to 3's blackspots *inside* a video zone? - will the higher rate apply to USIMs used in 2G phones? ;D (Actually, on reflection, I guess it wouldn't be that appealing unless you're someone that sends truckloads of SMS... For the spend level, you could get comparable/better rates using Vodafone directly) >If you want insider info, there seem to be some H3GA punter/s lurking on >ausmobile.com Or www.aussie3g.com I've rung Three Care several times and visited a couple of three shops to enquire about this. Each person told me a different thing, but the general concensus is that you can't. You would have to buy a new phone, even if you own a 3G handset, you'd have to buy one of their sim-locked phones. I put in some kind of customer demand/request, so that hopefully they would change this policy. Maybe if enough people do that, we might get somewhere. If they don't, I'll be leaving three for i-sim soon. > Any one know is a sim only pre paid plan is available? Who cares? Just buy a prepaid phone pack through them. If not, go elsewhere They are losing so much money that they dont care whether you are a prepaid cusotmer or not > I've rung Three Care several times and visited a couple of three shops to > enquire about this.

Hutchinson/3 maintain they are ontrack ... before their $450M Telstra half share arrangement. Why be so bitchy about a competitor ... competition breeds efficient services and the Telstra/ 3 deal is about to prove that! > Who cares? > Just buy a prepaid phone pack through them.

EVERYONE thats going down the tubes does, fuckwit. What do you expect them to say ? We're f.cked, no point in signing up with us ? Michael's back to banal/anal responses whenever it's just too hard to work out! Hutchinson 3 have much to prove they are on-track now, including great growth and the Telstra $450M 3G sharing/ conversion. > > Hutchinson/3 maintain they are ontrack ... > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > We're f.cked, no point in signing up with us ? > Michael's back to banal/anal responses > whenever it's just too hard to work out!

Back to "3" though. I dont understand why people are signing up with them. The deals that Optus and Voda offer are better in a lot of cases than 3. Majority of customer going to 3 are not getting the cap only around 20% are in fact. > Nope. > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > >> > >> We're f.cked, no point in signing up with us ? >> thomo <thomo@optusnet.com.au> wrote >>> Michael's back to banal/anal responses >>> whenever it's just too hard to work out! >> Corse you never ever do anything like that yourself, eh child ? >>> Hutchinson 3 have much to prove they are on-track now, >> Nope. >>> including great growth >> Nope. > So when they are growing by twice the number of Telstra, Only because 3 started from 0 fuckwit. > and 200,000 more cutomers than Optus in a 6 month period Lie. > and its continuing, you dont' call that great growth? Nope, not when they started from 0, fuckwit. Oldest statistical howler in the book, fuckwit. Dont give up the day w.nk, fuckwit. > Back to "3" though.

No surprises there, the whole area is too complicated for most of the stupid consumers to be able work out for themselves. So they are mostly driven by the hype. > Majority of customer going to 3 are not > getting the cap only around 20% are in fact. You'll have to pardon us if we dont believe they tell you the numbers. >>> and the Telstra $450M 3G sharing/ conversion. >> >> > Hutchinson/3 maintain they are ontrack ... >> >> [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >> >> >> >> We're f.cked, no point in signing up with us ? > > > Michael's back to banal/anal responses > > > whenever it's just too hard to work out!

And they are losing $200 per 6 months, and Telstra are making $2b profit within that time. Of course its great growth, but can it continue, and also profitable OneTel's GSM network had great growth too. Where is it now? > > > Michael's back to banal/anal responses > > > whenever it's just too hard to work out! [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > > > > and the Telstra $450M 3G sharing/ conversion. Its not sharing, Telstra are owing half their network And Hutchinson 3 will own half of Telstra's 3G W-CDMA network ie. each own a half share of the 3G hardware operation. And now the same joint sharing arrangement will occur between Optus & Vodafone! > > > > Michael's back to banal/anal responses > > > > whenever it's just too hard to work out!

That things changed when Telstra was stupid enough to toss them that liferaft, fuckwit. Just another example of terminal stupidity on Telstra's part. Nothing new about that. And we all thought you had the monopoly on terminal stupidity! > >> thomo <thomo@optusnet.com.au> wrote > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Nothing new about that. > >> thomo <thomo@optusnet.com.au> wrote > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > That things changed when Telstra was stupid > enough to toss them that liferaft, fuckwit. Agreed > Just another example of terminal stupidity on Telstra's part. Wow, we both agree on that |
