Hey Bobby et al

I just googled and found this page: -

http://personal.optus.com.au/web/ocaportal.portal?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=shopping...

Quote:
The 'yes' 19i Plan is available for new or eligible existing customers who apply to connect to the Optus Mobile Digital service, and pass the Optus credit assessment and who are accepted by Optus. Existing customers must demonstrate that over the three continuous months prior to applying you had an average monthly spend equal to at least the monthly access fee of your Optus 'yes' 19i Plan.
The 'yes' 19i Plan is available as a month to month, 12 month or 24 month plan.
If you have accepted a 24month term, the minimum total cost over 24 months is $456 plus the cost of your handset if any. If you have accepted a 12month term, the minimum total cost over 12 months is $228 plus the cost of your handset if any.
The 'yes' 19i Plan includes up to $14 of included call credits and up to $5 of Included Data each month with a monthly access of $19. You will pay a minimum amount of $19 per month even if you do not make the $14 of calls and $5 of Data.
If you connect to a 'yes' 19i Plan, you may select only one of the following plan offers: 'yes' Text, MyTime, 'yes' Text&Talk or 'yes' Time. If you do not select a plan offer, or your selection is not recorded, you will receive MyTime. Plan Offers may expire or be withdrawn at any time. Optus Fair GoTM Policy applies to limit access to the offers if you use the service in an unreasonable or excessive manner. See www.optus.com.au/mobilefairgopolicy. If you select a new rate plan and/or plan offer a fee may apply and any calls made during that bill cycle will be rated at the applicable rate of your new plan and/or plan offer from the date of the change. If you select the MyTime offer, allow up to 48 hours for your number to register or changes to be effective.
The included data value can only be used for Wireless IP (WIP VPN), WAP, Internet, FAX, Asynchronous Data(CSD), MMS Standard, MMS Email Alerts, MMS MobileCard, MMS Movie Trailers, MMS Premium, MMS Sport, MMS Video News, MMS Webcams, and Blackberry Email.
Included Call Credits can be used for national & international voice & video calls, standard text, Voicemail, Mobile Internet usage, Zoo Browsing, 124YES(937), 13 and 1300 numbers, PTT and National MMS.
Included call credits exclude some call types such as International Roaming, Directory assistance, International/Premium/Group/Third Party/Web Text, International MMS, Optus Zoo downloads, Content Packs (unless specified in promotion), VoiP, Mobile IM, TrueLocal usage, True Local usage, Video Conferencing, 13, 1300 and 19XX calls.
Rollover: Unused included call credits in any one month will expire at the end of two months and are not refundable, even at account closure.
Rollback: You may be eligible to reduce your contract length on a 24 month 'yes' Plan if your average monthly call usage charges fall into one of the defined bands. Usage charges are defined as your total monthly charges incurred for service usage before your included call credits are deducted. Usage does not include International Video Calling, monthly access fees, equipment charges, termination/ suspension/ late payment fees, reactivation charges, or insurance charges. "On average" means average usage charges over the period of your contract that has already expired. The first date that you may be eligible for a contract term reduction is month 15 of your contract. Any remaining or overdue handset payments must still be paid. If you change to another rate plan, the monthly access fee of your initial rate plan will be used to calculate your eligibility.
Termination: If you choose to pay the cost of your handset by the monthly handset payment option and cancel your Optus Mobile Digital Service or it is disconnected for any reason, or you switch carriers within this payment period you will be required to pay the remaining amount owing on your handset, if any. If you choose the 'yes' 19i 24 month plan and you cancel your Optus Mobile Digital service or your service is disconnected for any reason or you switch carriers within 24 months ("Termination"), you will be required to pay the remaining amount owing on your phone, if any, plus the following: for Termination between months 1-12; $540 for the 'yes' 19i plan, ("Initial Termination Fee"), and for Terminations between months 13-24 an amount in accordance with the following calculation: for months 13-15, 80% of the Initial Termination Fee, for months 16-18, 60% of the Initial Termination Fee, for months 19- 21, 40% of the Initial Termination Fee, for months 22-24, 20% of the Initial Termination Fee. If you choose the 'yes' 19i 12 month plan and you cancel your Optus Mobile Digital service or your service is disconnected for any reason or you switch carriers within 12 months ("Termination"), you will be required to pay the remaining amount owing on your phone, if any, plus the following: for Termination between months 1-6; $290 for the 'yes' 19i plan, ("Initial Termination Fee"), and for Terminations between months 7-12 an amount in accordance with the following calculation: for months 7-9, 70% of the Initial Termination Fee, and for months 10-12, 40% of the Initial Termination Fee.

Thanks Equitist.
I'll spend a few hours trying to read & understand all that.

It looks daunting.
I don't know what they've put me on.
It looks like that plan has many sub plans.

If you have about 30 minutes spare, you can always try the call centre. I just got off there.   Grin

No wuckers - and good luck with trying to dismantle all of that (bearing in mind that I gave up after posting less than half of it)!

It's deliberate so that no one can understand it.

The Telstra ones last 12 months despite saying only a month or two.
Which is just as well as there's no mobile coverage in this area so the times I get to use the phone are few and far between.

Prepaid is deliberately more expensive. They want to lock you in to a contract.

You've found it.
I couldn't find any free Yes time calls on my internet bill.
I'm sure some of them were after 8pm.
I'll have to revisit my account.

Mobile phone services have gone crazy in the last 3 months.

I don't know if this is true but I've heard of people with
GPS on their phone who are charged to use it.
GPS is a free service that you can pick up via satelite from a GPS device available from  - say - Dick Smiths.
Is it true that mobile phone companies are charging for it when they don't own it?
