These look to be Telstra’s iPhone 4 plans, and as per usual, Telstra have no issue charging like a wounded bull.

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been looking at switching to Telstra as my provider for the iPhone.

In Australia, they simply have both the biggest, and the best network available.

With 3, I’m having all sorts of reception issues. Any time I walk in to a building, things go to pot, and as Tim(b) said to me not long ago “Telstra has service everywhere. Carparks, indoors, pluto, etc.”

The plan with Telstra is $10 per month more expensive at a whopping $79, and has 750mb of data per month. I don’t even come close to using 300mb on my plan with 3 (which allows for 1gb).

My call credit per month would go up from $600-ish to $800, although I have no idea if calling would be more expensive, but given Telstra’s ability to take arms and legs, I wouldn’t be surprised if they are much more expensive.

Is it really worth the extra money for decent coverage, and hopefully-decent mobile internet speeds? Who knows.
