A step in the rite direction. Now need to drop the casual SMS price down as well.. Not quite sure why you need to change from normal Prepay to smart prepay to get these new rates for.

reading the XT prepaid page
have to give up on best mates to be able to use the 44c rate
if you want best mates then it is still 69c

it is more like vodafone now,
smart prepaid 49c & 12c txt
supa prepay 89c & 20c txt + best mate add on

Two questions:
1) can you change back should you ever want my favourites?
2) Will this affect any existing plans or addons aside from dropping the rate and losing my favourites? ie, i'm on Smartphone Double 480mb which has been extended several times (cheers telecom), and i don't want to lose this.

Does the 44c/minute include calls to landlines?

Just making sure, it could be read as "calls to all mobile networks only". Normally, landlines are specified.

Yes you can change back to Pay As You Go if needed

No it will not effect any of your bolt on's, current or grandfathered. (exception My Favorites)

My Favorites is not compatible with the new Smart Prepaid plan

eXDee, did you make the change? Can you confirm it did not affect you grandfathered Smartphone Plan? I'm on the smartphone 1G which I have no intention of losing.

Thanks
