Vodafone & Three join teams
So what, you say?
Well, that means they have the same iPhone deals and plans available – AND you now have unlimited credit to call and text Vodafone to Vodafone, Three to Three … AND 3 to Vodafone.
That’s right, for FREE. Above and beyond the new caps. Cool huh?!

The Three iPhone 4 plans are also now available online, with online purchasing available via Three Shop with the launch also at midnight Thu / Friday am.
As well …
Free unlimited mobile access to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, MySpace and Foursquare (the Sites) is available to all customers who connect to a new 3 voice postpaid contract after 1 July 2010.
They are both also offering a bonus 500Mb ($29 cap) or 1Gb data per month on top of their cap plans over 24 months.
The VIP launch
And if you were still personally thinking that nothing exciting could come of 3 and Vodafone joining, then check out the special VHA VIP iPhone launch for Sydneysiders… putting on the food and drinks at The Ivy… Wow! If I was to be smoozed and boozed for hours before buying my iPhone 4, I’d have been sure to impulse buy every single available iPhone accessory as well! [Danger Will Robinson]

Optus iPhone 4 launch
Optus have announced they are doing VIP events for the iPhone 4 launch this week.
Selected city stores (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane & Perth) will be opening at midnight Thursday.
You must be registered with them, which you can do via the Optus website.
Of course, if you can’t be bothered lining up at midnight and getting in first, then you can still purchase via their website or stores thereafter.
Other Telcos
Three and Vodafone also offering the iPhone at the same time:
- Buy iPhone 4 through Vodafone
- Buy iPhone 4 through Three Mobile
They’ve got great plans.
Unless you need to bother with Telstra based on your location, I wouldn’t worrya bout their iPhone 4 plans… I don’t reckon they compare.

Is the iPhone just for devoted Apple fans?
With all the hype surrounding the release of the iPhone 3G, we previously did a quick post letting you know where you could find some technical advice before outlaying your hard earned cash.
CNET helps you out with technical advice as well as “is the iPhone for me” type questions: Have your iPhone 3G questions answered
On that post we received some iPhone review comments:
iPhone 3G Review
As a fan of Nokia phones for the last 14 years, the decision to go to an iPhone was not taken lightly.
I got mine on Saturday, and I am in love!
I am not very technically minded and don’t use a Mac, but I am managing to figure things out as I go along. I didn’t like the fact that you get no instruction book or CD. I did have to call Optus tech support to ask why I wasn’t connecting to the net (I got through really quickly) and they had a team dedicated to iPhone. I hadn’t downloaded iTunes!
I am definitely happy that I have made the switch and glad that I went with Optus who have given me a 16GB phone for $2 a month over 2 years on a $79 cap with $550 in calls and text and 500MB of download. (my boss paid $319 for hers through Vodafone and is locked to a contract for 2 years!)
Got a great case from FunkyCoverz: Xrap Hard Shell - don’t forget to peel off the protective coating!
Great one, thanks for the input Michelle; AND for the tip – it will serve us well
