LOL. 300MB. But 300GB would be great too.

Linuxluver: The (subjectively) 'high' cost of minutes has lead us to txt for most of a decade.
We now think it almost rude to "barge in" by phoning directly.....as compared to txt-ing which gives the other party a chance to respond when convenient.
The most usual practice now if we need to talk (save time - too much to say) is to txt and arrange a time for the (short) voice call.
It works.
But the cost of voice minutes is what drove us to this socially advantageous solution.
Thank you. :-)
Data needs have been added to that. We're not happy unless we have at least 2GB each / month.

Especially as off net voice minute to terminate on a competitors network only costs 3.8 cpm by April and the wholesale rate is charged by the second. Virtually nothing for a on net call.

remember the incremental cost per call is virtually nothing for on net and 3.8cpm off net. the actual cost to the network has to factor in the huge ($400mill+) cost of building the network in the first place, the baseline OPEX cost of powering sites, providing transmission, leasing property to have sites.......etc
I guess they could charge you a $10 access charge per month that gives you no minutes, txt, or data and then give you lower rates, but customers don't really like paying for nothing :)

100mb is nothing for a moderate smartphone user. I'm sure you guys know this. 2degrees seem to recognise it. I was using about 4-500mb a month on my iPhone 4 on VFNZ. This has dropped significantly now I am in Oz on VF and they zero rate Twitter and Facebook (including via the API) which makes a big difference to usage.
Have a weightier data option less minutes and maybe less texts would be better for many people I think.
