zjod: I understand why the Fair Use Policy is in place HOWEVER I believe that the Telecom offer is not consistant with imposing the Fair Use Policy. This is because;

1) they cannot advertise 0.5cent per text, unless they feasibly would allow a user to use all 2500 txt messages under some form of Fair Use. If there are NO circumstances where a user will be allowed to use the full 2500 txt messages under Fair Use; then they cannot market the plan as 0.5c per text. The plan should be marketed under basic "historical use level", the same level they use to determine fair use.
i.e. if historically and average use is 100txt per month then the plan actually costs 12c pertxt.

2) and, the Fair Use policy is based on historical data and there is no historical data for this type of plan.

I do not believe that Telecom's behaviour would be changed unless this is tested in a court. Advertising standards authority could be used for point 1), BUT point 2) would only succeed if you could argue that your plan dictates your texting behaviour, there fore there is no historical data that is relevant.

This is my response to them if I am pulled up on the level of my txt use.
