Accessories are for the dealers to sell. They are irrelevant.
Build the phones, the accessories will come. Not Telstra's problem

You're a dick. ONE outage and you are already flapping your wings and taking
off.
Dickhead.
Given that you can only use 200 minutes of Foxtel a month, and based on
43200 minutes in a month, I've determined you should be getting a 6c rebate.
Yes, 6c.
Get over it.

Since when did Telecom have a mobile network in Australia? :-P
Yes I was referring to NZ, sorry I didn't make that clear.

Correct, I should have said 97% of the *population* of NZ -- not the
country. Land mass coverage in NZ is pretty bad too but better than
Australia.

Not in New Zealand. I was debating the point that CDMA has better
international roaming in NZ -- and making the point that CDMA roaming
in NZ on Telecom's network is not much better than GSM roaming on
Vodafone's GSM network.

If you say so. It all depends on where you go, some places Voda has
superior coverage while other places Telecom has better coverage. I
know of a few CDMA holes in Auckland. Yes, our largest city has some
CDMA holes whereas GSM is almost solid.
If both Telstra in Australia and Telecom here in NZ moved to a all-UMTS
network we would all be better off as we would have good national
coverage (through national roaming agreements on other UMTS networks --
instead of one company going CDMA and the other going GSM/UMTS as is
the case in NZ) as well as global roaming coverage in both countries
and the 100+ foreign countries that has GSM/UMTS coverage.
This is already a reality in Europe, why not Australia/NZ too?

James

You come up with all these one-liners, but never follow through when
expected to. No doubt this is another example.
A previous one was a silly comment regarding "smart usage" of internet
calls on NextG and your answer; "don't use it as much"...
Really, Michael, if you don't have anything useful to say, then do us a
favor and in your sig, headers or whatever, insert the text "troll" so
we can filter out your crap.

No it isnt when the salesape claimed it would be available.
If they cant supply it as stated, he gets a full refund if he wants one.

The most sensible answer of all.
You remind me of ****wits on a $20-$30 plan who have a variable spend.
So they go on a $49 cap. Yet if they did their sums, they probably only
average $40 a month, total

If you buy the handset in the shop, there is no cooling off period,
unless the store itself has such a policy.
If you buy the handset over the phone, a cooling off period applies by
law, which is either 5 or 10 days depending which state you live in.

Because, cockhead, you made the statement that it was "stupid" for me to
get a new phone number. The "followup" is to explain what your reasoning
for this less than profound statement.

No, it's stating the ****ing obvious, with nothing useful to add to the
discussion. Like all of your "contributions" to this newsgroup.
