ive been googling like crazy trying to find a decent summary of prepaid options from virgin, vodaphone, optus and telstra communic8 but can find nothing.

dunno, but if you're looking at vodafone, there is now a 20c flagfall on all calls.

lucky me though, i have no flagfall till i spend the $120 credit i put on it before the cutoff date :D

I go through Virgin pre-paid and I got the $100 one nearly a year ago and still have $19 left on it with about 50 days to use the remaining credit. But I only use my moby for emergencies or quick calls to mates.

Woot!

heh i'm pretty much the same as, i've used like 60 dollars worth off calls for like 12 months now, thats why i'm still using a 3210. Ofcourse i'd love an upgrade. also optus prepaid is shiiit @ night time, but hey c'mon free calls what more could you want?

I don't use too much credit either. I have friends who go through $80+ a month. I go through $10 a month? Difference is, they use their mobs for ltos of pointless calls. It adds up.

Also 1c a second on vodafone kicks ass. Well if you were smart and recharged before the 28th.
