    I'm having difficulties in locating Telstra's pricing plans for what it
    calls "data calls" on the new NextG service. I've found the page for the
    plans. For example, a $30 plan has $25 inc. voice calls and $5 inc.
    data. I was hoping that if someone is better at navigating Telstra's
    website, maybe they can be kind enough to point me in the right
    direction.

    If I understand the blurb correctly, customers on NextG can have a
    mobile phone on a conventional plan, and browsing on the phone will cost
    X. While using a laptop/PC and appropriate hardware they can access the
    internet via the NextG network but using different protocols? Is that
    correct? And if so the customer would be charged Y for data?

    Thanks

    I empathise.
    I find Telstra's website unnavigable, too. Largely.
    And, heck, I spent a lifetime interpreting and implementing Federal
    Government policy.

    Hi, yes that's true. But straight data plans, such as with the hsdpa
    card, require a seperate sim I believe. A data call is by gprs
    connection, and doesn't have anything to do with actually dialing a
    number for a connection, like dial up internet. Also, why not check out
    the data packs? I think if you click product and services-mobile use the
    left nav bar to find everything

    There is no capped option, you pay for a set amount of meg then charged for
    extra, this is a change from the old days of $5 per month extra would see
    you coverd. I found this out when I noticed $60 worth of data calls one
    month.

    :-P

    What an exciting party guest you must be.

    A simpleton could work this out.. perhaps if you're too stupid to understand
    an excellent deal, you shouldn't be using a phone.

    So, if you worked it out, you are living proof of that theory.


    BTW, You are a slow ****ing reader.

    Or have you been too busy sharing your superior knowledge on other
    groups?

    Plonk.
