Preamble - Mobile Phone Networks in Australia

Welcome to my blog. I have had an interesting 10 weeks with Optus one of the three mobile phone carriers in Australia (Optus, Telstra and Vodaphone). All other carriers basically use the infrastructure or are subsidiaries of those three. Other companies include Virgin (Optus), 3 (Vodaphone), Dodo (Optus).

I have been with Optus for three years after several years with Telstra (like most Telecommunications companies also not known for being easy to deal with) when I could have two phones on one account for less than I was paying for one phone with Telstra (not known for being competitive).

If you want to know more about which mobile plan is least worst for you, and you are in Australia then please checkout the forums on Whirlpool.

All the details in this blog are true, or slightly changed to obscure some personal details I don't really want 'out there'. Nonetheless, the events in this story really have occurred (are occurring), because I could never make anything this convoluted up if I tried.

I hope this blog will help you with your inevitable problems with the telco(s) you have to deal with. Maybe, just maybe someone from these telcos <IRONY> will read this and actually make some changes?</IRONY>
