I have a pre-paid mobile at the moment, and am thinking of changing to a cheap plan, and am just looking around at the moment at different deals etc. If anyone is on a good deal, or knows of one that sounds good etc, please tell me about it. Cheers.

Yeah maybe. I don't exactly mind the pre-paid, but am just thinking about going on a plan if I see a sweet deal, as there is some around.
I am leaning towards Austar at the moment. If you are already a customer, they do an alright deal of $15 per month with $20 worth of free calls, and I get a snazzy phone......but I haven't decided yet. One that gives me a free DVD player or something would be nice lol.

Or, you could not tie yourself into a contract, pay the correct price for the phone, pay the normal price for phone calls, and with the money you save, you can just but a DVD player, what a brilliant idea.

Stick to pre-paid dude.......I was so glad when my contract expired earlier this year. All the deals sound good, but they are all offset by little catches here and there. My girlfriend and I are with Virgin right now, we get 5c SMS to each other, and a good call rate.
Stick to pre-paid.

Metal as fuck
The thing about plans is that they are virtually a hire-purchase deal. You end up paying about 1/3 or more extra than what the phone's actual retail price is when you first start using it, and by the time you finish paying it off, it's practically obsolete and worthless.

My phone is pre-paid with $100 of calls a year. Bloody waste of time and money since I almost never turn the thing on except when I need a taxi

Your right Gore, but with some plans, they will also give you the amount you pay per month (whether it be $15, $20, $30 etc) worth of free calls/SMS, so if you use about that much, you are basically getting the phone etc for free. Also, the phones only become obsolete to people who care about the next wiz bang thing on the market etc. I still use the old 3210, which is still a great phone and it is much older than 2 years, which is what most of the contracts length is. These days, the only new features they are putting on phones is cameras/games/mp3 players/crap that has nothing to do with the PHONE, so if all you want to do is make calls, SMS, etc, then they don't go out of date that quickly.

By the way, what are your ringtones?
I have WAIT FOR SLEEP as my ringtone, and a little excerpt from Kevin Moores keyboard bit during Metropolis part 1 as my message tone

I change mine a bit, but the last few I have had have been AC/DC - Hells Bells, Europe - The Final Countdown, the theme from Bubble Bobble, Slayer - South Of Heaven, etc.

$200 a month!?! Crikey! I got a $20 pre-paid plan back in April/May, put another $20 on it about 6 weeks back and now I have around $17 to go.
Yeah, I am on prepaid, and haven't bought credit for it for over 6 months. I just use it for people to call me. I guess instead of thinking about plans I should just buy some credit lol.
