Telstra Plans

I have never seen anything more of an abortion tha that of the description
of Telstra Mobile Plans on offer on the Telstra website.

There appear to be three types of plan systems, Member (contract), Casual
(non-contract) and Phone (***?) plans, with no clear explanation on what
they are and differences.

Then there are bonus offers (eg: 5c calls/min to any Telstra mobile or
landline number) which appear on the CDMA upgrade page $40 plans, but don't
seem to appear anywhere else on the site.

Another complete ****ing balls-up by Telstra.

Member/casual self explanatory. Phone plans include a
"free" (subsidised) handset.

Choice of 6 bonus options if you are on a member or phone plan.

This is one of the pricing options if you choose the "Get Connected"
plans - different type of pricing, no calls included in monthly charge
but MUCH cheaper call rates.

All pretty clearly laid out at http://www.telstra.com.au/mobile/mob...ices/plans.htm

Thanka for the explanation and that link.

I cannot see a table detailing the bonuses (like the one above) for the Get
Connected ones. I'll go hunt in the SFOA.

Pretty clear

Casual - Casual. No contract
Member - Member. Has a contract and cheaper rates/bonuses
Phone - Phone. Buys you a phone
