2 year contracts suck ass

Is it true that I might have already reached the limit having well overspent my $40 a month, even though I've only had this one since September?

If you're with Optus, yes. You can reduce your contracts time if you consistently pay above your minimum. I cut a couple of months off my last one.

well, it might say something like that in the optus agreement (I'm not familiar with the optus terms).

I have worked in the telecommunications industry for over 2 years, selling anywhere up to 60 month contracts (business & corporate). I know how these contracts work and it isn't nice. It's a way of making the hardware (phone) look cheaper than it actually is while making the company a shit load more money than if you just bought the phone off them.

I bought my last phone outright for $450 and I saved more than that in the first two months by shopping for the best rate.

like I said before... DONT GO ON CONTRACTS :D

btw "B" store were one of our biggest customers ;)

you saved $450.00 by going to a operator that was maybe 5c or 10c cheaper per call. That would mean you would have had to make 4500 calls or something. Thats like 75 calls a day for 2 months.

on my $60 plan (telstra) which was contracted I was frequently going up near $360 per month and above. I now have it capped at $79, biggest bill I've had was $130.... I know some contracts actually have a cap included BUT you are still making the phone company a shit load more than they deserve. Just remember it is finance you are buying into NOT a telephone.

I've been on some sort of mobile contract for over 10 years.

I did the calculations and I'm better off on a contract, especially since the $79 cap came in

Optus have ended my contract early on two ocassions because I spent more than my plan.
