GizNas: I posted this in another topic, but with the amount of views this topic's getting I'm sure I can get a quick answer.

"A little help!

This is my would-be You Choose 20 plan:

Choose 20 20 anytime minutes to any NZ number $19.95

Choose 60 60 anytime minutes to any NZ number $39.95

Choose 120 120 anytime minutes to any NZ number $59.95

Choose 250 250 anytime minutes to any NZ number $109.95

Choose 600 600 anytime minutes to any NZ number $224.95

Choose 1100 1100 anytime minutes to any NZ number $369.95

Family Unlimited national calls, video calls and TXTs between four people on You Choose or Supa Prepay. $20.00

BestMates 1 Talk, TXT, PXT and Video call to 1 Vodafone NZ mobile number within NZ $6.00

BestMates 2 Talk, TXT, PXT and Video calls to 2 Vodafone NZ mobile numbers within NZ $10.00

BestMates 3 Talk, TXT, PXT and Video calls to 3 Vodafone NZ mobile numbers within NZ $12.00

Your Time 100 100 minutes to any NZ number during nights and in the weekend $14.95

Your Time 300 300 minutes to any NZ number during nights and in the weekend $29.95

Your Time 200 200 minutes to Vodafone network mobile numbers during nights and in the weekend $11.95

TXT 100 100 TXTs to any NZ number $5.95

TXT 200 200 TXTs to any NZ number $7.95

TXT 600 600 TXTs to any NZ number $12.95

TXT 2000 2000 TXTs to Vodafone network mobile phones $9.95

International 45 45 international minutes to UK, USA, Australia, Canada & Ireland $14.95

International 90 90 international minutes to UK, USA, Australia, Canada & Ireland $24.95

Video Call 30 30 international minutes $9.95

Bonus Offer Handset Discount ($40-100)
Extra National Minutes (2-10)

If I purchase that along with the broadband 1gb plan, for a term of 24 months, would I get a subsidy of $230? With a monthly payment of $85.90?"

jmcollis said that "Yep, that's what it seems."

So I would get the subsidy off the price of the standalone 16gb making it $900 or will I get it at near or less the price if I had gone on the iPhone 250 plan, which is $700? Seeing as I'm paying for $6 more than their 250 plan, and I'm staying on term for the same amount of time (24 months), I'm hoping that somehow that makes me elligible to buy the 16gb iPhone for $700 or less. If so that would be an instant buy for me :D

I think so, but it depends. I just signed up for a 16Gb white one for $659 doing the following:

- Re-sign for 36 months (not 24) my talkZone 33/33 corporate plan, which gives me a $320 subisidy -- this plan is paid by the company, and it basically costs $33/month, although my bill usually comes around $100 with TXT100 and 100 off-peak minutes plus free calling to all company employees;
- Add a 1Gb data plan at the same time, giving me another $150 subisidy;

Just note that Vodafone stores may do it differently. I'm doing this through First Mobile.

Thank you so much! I think I'll drive down to the local VFNZ store then and have a chat with them to see how things go. Hopefully it all works well. I don't really fancy paying anything over $900, and even then I'll be a bit hesitant. If it comes under $700 though, I'll be set.

A little personal question... Why white? Unless you have a case for the thing, I would be a little paranoid at all the dirt marks :S

^Alright fair enough, but a case makes that problem go away!

Although, taking care of shiny, black gadgets can be a hassle at times... It's a wonder my PS3/PSP slim have remained almost spotless all these months.

That's why i love the invisible shield, although it may show finger marks and stuff, at least it protects the phone extremely well (speaking from experience)

Not perfect, but it definitely doesnt take its "sexy" :P

Is Invisible Shield the same as Clear Armour?

You + maths = fail!

The $46 is per month. VF's revenues for the year are well over $1 billion, having surpassed the $1 billion mark in the 2006 financial year from memory.

Haha, quite right. I'm going to use the excuse that I'm tired

. So the real number is $1,240,034,400.

As far as I know definitely not. Unless they offer a lifetime warranty and an excellent easy to use product. Then they are most definitely different products.

The invisible shield has a lifetime warranty, you are welcome to look here if you haven't already http://www.zagg.com/

EDIT" I just completely read that article, and it says down the botton "I would advise to stick with invisible shield" So its definitely not the invisble shield that you linked to.

I was angry before. Now I'm REALLY angry.

To get an iPhone 3G for about $220 in Australia...you have to sign up for an NZ$80/month plan.

I would be queueing up now if they had offered that here.......

$169/month and you get the iPhone for FREE.

+ inbound roaming which is estimated to bring in anywhere from $50 - $150 million per year depending on who you listen to and since VF won't disclose the breakdown we never will really know!
