Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / Australian Group / June 2006getting 3G handset - existing Voda 79 cap postpaid
(Yes I have checked the Voda website and contacted the support monkeys...) Q: Have an existing 79 cap postpaid with a non-3G handset If I get a 3G-capable handset do I need to get a reissued SIM to utilise 3G features? (the existing sim was issued about 14 months ago). (there are no SIM restrictions)...So I can just place SIM in new 3G handset and then have high speed data access? How does 3G data fit in with the $79 postpaid Cap inclusions? Do I now need to add on a data bundle? (Before I used GPRS with $1 per 5min sessions). > If I get a 3G-capable handset do I need to get a reissued SIM to utilise 3G > features? (the existing sim was issued about 14 months ago). I required a new SIM with Optus; considering Optus and Vodafone use exactly the same 3G infrastructure I believe that you will also require a new one. > > If I get a 3G-capable handset do I need to get a reissued SIM to utilise 3G > > features?

Everyone needs a 3G SIM I believe Optus will soon allow 2.5G sims to use either the 3G or 2.5G networks to balance network capacity. Don't know when is going to happen but I read some info on it a couple of weeks ago > > If I get a 3G-capable handset do I need to get a reissued SIM to utilise 3G > > features?

John They'll give you a new SIM alongside with the phone. I couldn't be bothered to activate it and just use my red sim instead as I prefer to use my 2.5G phones and give the 6280 to my girlfriend that uses Optus non 3G. re. data , iirc they are outside the $79 cap. For data, the best deal imho is still with 3. =bob= > (Yes I have checked the Voda website and contacted the support monkeys...) > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > Do I now need to add on a data bundle?

Is two cents even legal tender these days? >> (Yes I have checked the Voda website and contacted the support >> monkeys...) [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Yes, but who cares? > Wot?

Even old pound notes are still legal tender, did you know that> > >> (Yes I have checked the Voda website and contacted the support > >> monkeys...)

As for your 2 cents worth, well, you can spend up to 20 cents worth of them...doesn't get you far....maybe further than your banter..in either case , quite a few cents short of the full quid. >> Wot?

Dunno what drugs you are on, 1c coins and 2c coins are still legal tender, so are pre-decimal currency. |
