Arriving on the scene in Australia and immediately receiving lots of publicity are Unlimited call plans. The idea is that you pay a set fee every month and get to make as many calls as you like. For those of you who use the phone a lot this can be of fantastic value and one of the cheapest mobile phone plans to be found in Australia.
These plans look great but we are certain that some people will be naturally skeptical about what's included. Many customers just don’t realize what they are paying for with their phone company and many basically don’t trust their phone company after being marketed a product and then reading the small print.
The plan includes all local and long distance calls, including those made to mobiles and an unrestricted number of SMS messages. We also came to realize that this plan has an included 2Gb of data which is amazing value. In Australia other carriers are offering 2Gb of data for $99 by itself without the included unlimited call plan. As well as this exceptional offer, phone calls on this plan are also unlimited and have no cut off point.
International calls and global roaming are excluded from the unlimited plan. Also any calls made to special numbers, including 19 or 124YES numbers, 13, 1300, 1800 & 1900 numbers. Directory assistance is excluded and any data usage exceeding 2Gb per month. Given that these call types only account for around 4% of total call numbers we don’t imagine this to be a major issue for potential business customers.
Given the complex nature of phone plans this certainly makes it a lot easier to understand.
There are many unlimited call plans available in Australia but Telaustralia is the only telco to offer this type of plan for businesses too. There are other unlimited and untimed call plans but these exclude commercial use.
An unlimited plan is such good value that other higher end capped mobile phone plans are becoming old fashioned With capped plans you generally pay a fixed amount, say $150, and are then you are given a set number of calls for that price. However if you can obtain an unlimited plan for the same price you are getting a much better deal.
Unlimited plans have become popular as clients are using their mobiles and smart phones more than any other phone devise and so requesting a good deal for calls. They want to convenience of using it whenever they like and not have to be anxious about the bill coming in each month. With a fixed bill they know exactly how much they have to put aside for. They truly know that the modern workforce relies on their mobiles.
These plans will in addition reduce the reliance on the PSTN network. Why pay line rental when you can make as many calls as you like and connect to the internet in the palm of your hand.
As unlimited call plans increase, they are likely to cover 98% and HSDPA data coverage to 95% of the Australian population.
