There was a 'scam' running a while back, that lasted for about a year before they caught on and turned divert off... people would have gotten thousands of dollars worth of free calls... that was one reason why i chose telstra prepaid, then when they switched divert off i jumped back to vodaphone... Optus all the way! Optus prepaid to Optus prepaid is FREE 24/7. Each time you recharge you get the amount of money you paid x 10 in free chat time minutes. So recharge $30 and you get 300 minutes to use whenever you like and however you like. It's calculated per-second as well. Telstra are so dodgy. They are meant to provide a list to other companies that lets them know which areas have the infastructure for cable/broadband. In PC User I read that this guy called up a smaller company and was told broadband was not yet available in his area. He'd been calling companies for around 2 months. He then decided to try Telstra. Guess what? Telstra tell him he CAN get broadband access in his area. "Great!" he thinks. He calls the company with the better deal but oh no, what's this? The company tells him broadband isn't in his area yet. Turns out that Telstra purposely didn't provide these companies with the phone numbers of homes that could get broadband access. They wait until they have a majority of customers and THEN release the list. By that time however, there are few customers left. The guy rang up Telstra and they offered to give him free cable for 18 months and increase his download limit to way higher than what ordinary people pay if he agreed not to tell anyone. He obviously didn't agree and Telstra refused to give him service. I doubt many people would have refused the deal. It's just too good. This is the real world and it would've saved someone so much money. This is why it's so hard to fight the big boys. [Report message to a moderator]
