Aaaaaaaarghhhhh!!!! Darned mobile recharge $$$

Adam Internet are pretty good, we got their 'Naked DSL' (broadband without phone line rental) for $50/mth capped at 20gb. 12 mth contract.

I hate mobile carriers here too - crap signal - no free minutes (just $350 worth of calls) ?!?!?! yep they're about 10yrs behind the UK at least.

Can't believe you got a $500 bill - that's huge.

On the flip side I've had my contract phone for 3 months use it most days for work ( tax time benefits) use the Internet on it most days call the uk every week and send untold amount of texts to people and it never goes over the 59 a month. Tips are don't go on Telstra unless you live in the bush, check call rates, don't use mobile broad band to download stuff. Also 6 - 8 pm always seems a slow time.

That too, and the 0898 ones, costs even more from here to the uk ;)
