[talk-au] Good data deal for mapping parties + mobile mappers...

[John Smith]

Just thought I'd give people a heads up if they're looking for a good
deal on mobile broadband, currently Vodafone are offering 1.5G/mo for
$15 on a month to month post pay account and Crazy Johns are offering
2G/mo for $15 on a 6mth post pay account.

If you get a rootable android handset you can wifi tether, although
the next version of Android is supposed to have this functionality
built in, throw in a SIP client + SIP account, and this works out a
pretty good deal for voice as well.

Alternatively VF has a wifi/3G device (it does 900Mhz I checked) for
sale for about $120 and you get a pre-pay sim with 1G of data thrown
in.
