Australian mobile network giant Telstra is all set to offer the Apple iPhone 3G now. The company will launch the handsets in the coming month of July and is all set to become the third mobile carrier to offer the iPhone. Telstra has also announced its pricing details for the device. It has announced two-year plans starting with $30 dollars per month. Another plan costs $80 a month. The upfront costs for 8GB and 16GB handsets are $279 and $399 respectively. A $100 a month plan is also being worked out.
Facilities available with the fast 3G wireless technology include maps with GPS, support for features like Microsoft exchange etc. so that people can have access to a revolutionary phone, a fabulous internet device and a widescreen iPod in form of a single iPhone. As per David Moffat, consumer group managing director of Telstra, the 3GiPhone will run on the company’s Next G network. The company being a hugely popular network provider in Australia wishes to provide a superb iPhone 3G experience to its customers
(90%+ of Australian population). The news however is coming after making us wait for sometime due to the ongoing imbroglio with Apple over accessing Telstra’s content services via the handset. Still, I would say better late than never! J
