Jama: You might be on the plan I was/am on which no longer exists. I used to pay $2.50 p/hour but there was no pre-pay to it.
uncmil: Hmm, this reminds me of what happened when we switched to Slingshot. About a year ago (or so) we left Xtra for Slingshot and still to this day we have our Xtra email/webmail address/login. And we don't pay a single dime to Telecom (except for the standard Homeline thing).

cokemaster: (I had a free email account with my Apache PDA/wifi hotspotfor instance) as well or it will cost $2.50 a month and if you use it as a dial up account - the same will apply.

cokemaster: It will probably be peer plan, as sometimes your xtra usernames do not get deactivated when you cancel your broadband (or migrate it elsewhere). As billing as done by the line - there is minimal harm you can do, ie. you can't get free usage by using it on a friends ADSL connection, however email and dial up access remain active.
Xtra broadband connections get a 'free' dial up account (ie. no rental charges) which cover the email account, however if you use it as a dial up connection there will be charges (ie. at $2.50 a hour). You also have an 'xtra email account' which depending on how you got it, it may be free monthly (I had a free email account with my Apache PDA/wifi hotspot for instance) as well or it will cost $2.50 a month and if you use it as a dial up account - the same will apply.
Basically the current plans are 'prepaid' as in you already paid for the time, so you get prepaid 2, 10, 150 and then the 'flatrate' plans. However once you go over the limits, the regular per hour charge applies.
Disclaimer: I do not work for the Xtra dial up or Xtra broadband helpdesks and all the information discussed above is public.
