Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / Australian Group / October 20073 Data Charges
Up to $30,000 per gigabyte! Cripes! http://ask3.three.com.au/answer/Attachments/Services/International_Roaming/WWR_I nfo_v2.htm About $45,000 per gigabyte less than Telstra PAYG. Last time I checked I was paying an incredible $29 for 1 gigabyte, and 10c meg after that, fuckwit. > Up to $30,000 per gigabyte!

Where did you get that bullshit figure from? Domestic PAYG rate for Telstra is $2/MB International PAYG rate for Telstra is $15/MB That's HALF of what the suckers using Three pay for their top tier roaming charges. As usual, if you're roaming it sucks to be '3'! > Last time I checked I was paying an incredible $29 for 1 gigabyte, and > 10c meg after that, fuckwit. > >> Up to $30,000 per gigabyte!

And, as usual, it sucks to be on Telstra *at any time*, roaming or not.  SignatureKwyj. > That's HALF of what the suckers using Three pay for their top tier > roaming charges. Pity about the fact the vast majority of people who use a national carrier, use it within that national carriers' home country. In this case, Australia, fuckwit. As I said, 1GB for $29 - Telstra will never offer anything remotely close to such value. >> That's HALF of what the suckers using Three pay for their top tier >> roaming charges. > > Pity about the fact the vast majority of people who use a national > carrier, use it within that national carriers' home country. In this > case, Australia, fuckwit. Pity that you once again don't have a clue what this thread is all about. The fact that most people don't roam outside their country is irrelevant. For those users that DO roam the pricing is critical and as I stated Telstra are better value than Three in that case for data charges. So try reading before posting fuckwit. Oh, and Three users don't even need to leave their home country to be stung with roaming charges - all they need to do is see a little more of their country outside the 30km radius of their capital cities. > As I said, 1GB for $29 - Telstra will never offer anything remotely > close to such value. Value isn't measured in bargain basement prices alone fuckwit. Three have such appallingly crap coverage that they can ONLY compete on prices alone. If you only live in the concrete jungle and don't care or bother to see what the real Australia looks like then Three is good value. But I guess your sense of value is blinded by the smog! >>> That's HALF of what the suckers using Three pay for their top tier >>> roaming charges.

Actually, it's not that they have to travel outside of the 30 km radius. The higher roaming charges occur when 3 customers roam on to Telstra. > Where did you get that bullshit figure from?

As usual, if you're roaming it sucks to be '3'! You're comparing apples with oranges... If you want to compare Three's roaming data charges, at least compare them to Telstra's roaming charges, not their local data charges. Telstra's intl. data rate is 1.5c/kB with a 50c connection fee. Roaming's a rip-off no matter which part of it you're looking at.

(if you're going to UK or Hong Kong for example) All incoming calls free, home data allowance usable overseas... |
