Mobile Phone questions thread

I'm on the Optus $59 cap, and while I consider myself to be a HEAVY internet user, I don't think I've ever broken 250MB. That being said, I've busted the $350 in calls a few times, but that's tough to quantify from person to person. Also, now that the iPhone supports tethering (using the phone as a 3G modem for your laptop), I expect to use more, but even then, that will be rare.

The other benefit, at least at the time I signed up for Optus, was that Optus offered me a 1 year contract but charged me more for the phone. The phone ended up costing me $400 over the year (16GB), but I'm out of contract at the end of this month and that has tremendous value to me.
