Optus increasing their iPhone pricing

Increasing handset prices ALREADY

It was recently annouced that the industry had more iPhone competition, with Virgin and Vodafone also onboard, Telstra reducing their data prices and Three offering iPhone SIM starter packs.

Now Optus has made the choice to increase their handset pricing to all new contract customers – however slightly.

How to win over new customers?

Presumably the new customers are many who have been on their waiting list?

With the dust (aka iPhone frenzy) starting to settle just a wee bit, aren’t those consumers still to convert over to an iPhone, going to be the ones who perhaps do even more homework than those who just wanted it anyhow and anyway on 11 July?

An interesting move Optus, given the press their data speeds and reception has received of late too.
