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?!

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]

Vodafone has iPhone on offer
Vodafone has now confirmed that they are offering the Apple iPhone on contract. Head across and check out their plans.
Three customers can now remain with Three
Not to be completely left out (?), Three are now offering iPhone plans and support – although not able to actually offer the iPhone. This means you can get a pre-paid iPhone unlocked and use the Three network. This also from Mactalk forums:
Three, have decided to go ahead and offer iPhone plans and support anyway, even though they aren’t selling the actual device. The plans represent fantastic value – provided you have an unlocked device in the first place. Their cheapest cap, $49, will buy you $320 worth of credit plus 1GB of data – by far the best value so far. Keep in mind, however, that an unlocked 8GB iPhone costs a minimum of $820 in the first place…
What’s Virgin doing?
Virgin, always known to provide a market shake-up where needed, have competitive plans and rates for the iPhones. According to Mactalk forum, the Virgin Mobile supplied iPhones are however tied to the Optus network. Whether this will change is uncertain.
Telstra?
Note the advice on the MacTalk forum that Telstra has also lowered their prices, no doubt realising that the competition is now quite strong.
