I had skype on once but didn't find it that good as you only get some things for free..and I have no one to talk to, I live a very poor existence sorry

Most people I know don't have computers. I still wouldn't know how to turn one on if I didn't get hurt at work as I've never needed one

39*12=468 ... Why would I want to pay an extra $408 than I do now? Oh, and buy an iPhone to use that included data with?

??

czark · August 05, 2013, 08:49:26 PM

oh my bad. I read that as $60/month.

Everybody here has, or can have, Skype. It runs on just about everything with very few two-year-old (or even twenty-two-year-old) tantrums necessary. And GV is built in to Google's services, including Gmail and Google+. Yes, it costs a few cents to call out onto the PSTN, but they're a damn sight cheaper than Tel$ra.

be impressed Fulvio

I use Skype
My daughter and I video Skype, so I can watch the grandie eat her first spoonful of food, help check out the sore eye - humm better get her to the doc or even ... watch the four-and-a-half-month old baby girl tantrum
boy that kid can holler!!

but usually the daughter and I do the important stuff- like - see my new haircut , noice , do you like this new nail polish Mum?- bit bright dear, what do you think of this dress Mum? etc etc

it's just fantastic - I love it

Nothing like instructional tantrum video to get the technology flowing, is there? Must be a girl thing...

It runs on any computer with a mic and/or camera.

haha if I keep up with technology I would end up with one of those fancy iPhones and be an FB all the time, that's why I haven't got one, hell I may be tempted to marry it if I got one! I like my pre paid ancient plan just fine thankyou, it kind of works out to cost me bugger all cos I rarely use the phone, also I seen my mates last iPhone bill and that was a scary number. :shock:

Absolutely! That's why I bought the iPod instead of iPhone. It does everything EXCEPT chew up horrendously overpriced mobile data. and if the scumbag telco robber barons ever stop ripping us off, I can always buy a mobile hotspot for that.

Australian coin · August 05, 2013, 09:42:05 PM

if anyone know a plan better than this I WANT TO KNOW!
$39.00 month 12GB and if you use that it just slows ya down.
I am looking for a new provider

oh and my current one has no contract just pay as you go

Do you need mobile data? Every day? I looked at options for a friend a couple of months ago... he wanted occasional use, since he has WiFi at home, and most places he goes. Optus had an interesting deal that only costs you for the days you use it, and he was going to get one of their hotspots and put the SIM in that.

What broke this deal was the different size SIMs in the hotspot and his phone. We got him to practice putting the card in an adaptor, and he nearly broke it, so that just wasn't going to work on a regular basis.

I have a cheap Telstra flip phone on a $10 plan, with 50 SMS per month included.
Also have the home line for internet and home security.

Unicorn · August 05, 2013, 11:41:47 PM

We only have landline. See AJ you're not alone. (Mobiles are crap here).
Satellite internet.

It costs me about $600 a year for the use of my iPhone.
That's less than $2 a day for something that is invaluable for my work and pleasure.
The email and Internet features are great, it takes quite a good photo as well.
I oftain have to email pics of the inside of mills back to the office and the iPhone is easy to use.
BTW I can even make phone calls as well :laugh2:
