Attention: Anybody with a Telstra Mobile

September 25th, 2006 · Posted in Attention: Whoever ·

Do NOT use their mobile internet service… 2.8MB = $43… That’s roughly $15 per megabyte.

To summarise: do not use Telstra’s mobile internet service. Also, if you are thinking of getting a Telstra mobile, don’t. I’m pretty frustrated that I did. The phone is nice, the service is not.

I thought the government should keep full control of Telstra before. Now I hope it gets sold, and quickly, and they can start competing - either that or it hurries up and dies, so a decent phone company can take over and get rid of the extravagantly priced line rental, shocking internet prices and terrible mobile phone service.

3 mobile is great if you live within their broadband region - but otherwise not so great as they have to use other networks and charge more for it (eg, for us up in the Mountains).

I’m with Optus (mainly because I work for them and can get a sweet deal), and they are just fine and dandy :)
