Looking at buying a smart phone for the first time.
Going through Telstra, everything is so expensive.
Why stick with Telstra? They have the best coverage for outer suburbs, up in the hills around Melbourne.
Minimum data plan is 50GB, I have never used more than 25GB a month.
Cost of plan plus phone is $74/month for the first 12 months (absolute minimum available) - $888, then $87/month for the next 2 years - $2088. A total commitment of $2978 over 3 years for a phone and access to the Web.
Why am I getting a smart phone? Mainly for google maps so I do not get lost going into the bush.
Telstra is the second most distrusted phone company in Australia, with Optus being the most distrusted.
The more I think about it, the more I am leaning to staying with what I have.
Though currently my 3 years spend will be $2772. Which no doubt will go up and up over time.
