I just got bit surprised while talking with Telecom prepay representative.

He said even if I joined Telecom 1GB prepay mobile broadband plan at the end of the month by paying $55 something, it will only good for till the midnight because its the way it is and I'll got charged another $55 for next month.

Is it true was it always like that?

Cheers

Yes, the mobile broadband is reset at every start of the month - and this was found on the first month. I thought they have changed their systems to pro-rata the billing though...

Oh I see.. I have no experience with Telecom mobile product before so, any little difference between Vodafone makes me jumpy :)
