Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / Australian Group / October 2006Pay to "receive" calls???
I'm looking at the plan options for the new Telstra 850 3G mobile phone. One of them is this one: My Hour Nominate one hour of the day or night to receive the first 20 minutes of each voice call (and video calls if you have a video mobile(3G)*2) made within that hour free*3 . You can call any eligible fixed or mobile number within Australia any day of the week. I read the "things you need to know" blurb, but there's nothing there to indicate that received calls are charged for. If I'm reading the above wrong, what is Telstra trying to say? And why mention the word "receive" when talking about not being charged? > I'm looking at the plan options for the new Telstra > 850 3G mobile phone.

No surprise that it couldnt survive without a union. > I'm looking at the plan options for the new Telstra 850 3G mobile phone. > One of them is this one: [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > If I'm reading the above wrong, what is Telstra trying to say?

Whatever, re-reading it, it makes sense, now. Should never really do sh.t like this when on nightshift.... > I'm looking at the plan options for the new Telstra 850 3G mobile phone. > One of them is this one: [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > within that hour free*3 .

MyHour has been arounds for yonks. > I'm looking at the plan options for the new Telstra 850 3G mobile phone. > One of them is this one: > > My Hour I get paid to receive calls 5c a minute on my pre-paid Telstra..

Called 'Call Credits' or some plan like that. I get an sms around the 5th of each month telling me how much i made the previous month. Call credits was the prepaid plan offered by telstra after the 1c per min after 9pm for 15 minutes and before the current plans. They removed them without any warning, and you can not get back on those plans no matter when u purchased the starter kit...

Well, I think they can make you on the 31/03/07... so you may not have to. I am on the coke live plan, and thats when mine expires.... and I never wana leave :) SignatureUnkit > Well, I think they can make you on the 31/03/07... so you may not have Thats the current end date, but it may well be extended. Just like many things, such as bonus options, get extended. Even MobileNet to MobileNet is still around, and that started in 2000 Hopefully you are right, and it will get extended, but I very highly doubt that. Why would they pay all that money to draft up new contracts (or terms of service whatever you want to call it) to say that they could move you onto a new plan from time to time, when they had no intention of doing it. I think the reason they let people stay on expired plans previously was that they had no right to demand anyone be moved. Fingers crossed though, I am wrong, and I will get to use my coke live 06 sim and the call credits sim forever (btw, they make a perfect combination) He he he. I cut my phone bill down from $30 a month to $0 a month. SignatureUnkit > Hopefully you are right, and it will get extended, but I very highly > doubt that.

Nope, you can put a detrimental notice in, and remove a product with about 30 days notice Fantastic news. If u r wrong though.... I know what phorum u post in!!!! :) thanks for the info, really made my day.

What OP meant was, after 6/9/6, all NEW activations were on the new tariffs and not on Call Credits. Sounds like the OP is a tightarse, got cut off for having no credit for an extended period, and then expected to go back on call credits. sucker Michael Wrote: > What OP meant was, after 6/9/6, all NEW activations were on the new > tariffs [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > sucker > [color=blue] Not really. What I meant was, you can no longer sign up for the Call credits plan. I found out cause I ported my own number on it, and I was progressively trying to port all my family's number's onto it... Before I could finish, (1 person left) they changed the deals on me. Its okay, I had a Coke Live sim, so i got back at them, Now I use 1 minute below the fair play policy to receive money on 1 sim and get about $40 of credit for FREE. Telstra doesn't play fair, neither do I. SignatureUnkit >> I get paid to receive calls 5c a minute on my pre-paid Telstra.. > > How do you get this service? Its no longer sold |
