If you go for them, I would go for the $10 from them directly via Australian Registered Post. Probably safer. Sign up here. http://www.hellomobile.com.au/?simcard
Im not with them. Just was interested in that plan.
yes, i dont think they updated that figure. It says 25c everywhere else.
So what's the catch? Nothing's ever free! They must get revenue through ads? it can't be the flagfall can it?
Network: Vodafone. Should be in big bold letters.
Flagfall means not free. It means no per-minute rate. But still 25c per call, even if it lasts 1 second.
Yeh that's pretty misleading advertising on their part.
About 1 second is all your Vodafone call will last before dropping out in Melbourne.
I think ALL mobile providers have flagfall so it's not anything new to be honest. I just wonder how they'll make a profit just based on that and monthly fees of less than $10…….
The profit comes not from subscribers, but from gullible investors who are desperate to get into the hot telecoms market.
No, wait. I'm thinking of OneTel. Surely investors are more savy now??
Have you notice whenever a poster starts with "Just came across this", they sound like they are selling something?
Out 1-post wonder even gilds the lily with "FREE" in the subject. I don't see that on their website, except where the calls really are free. Did they change it?
umm how is 25c free??
yeah, i am wondering where is the free part :)
according to below link, you should change your title" 25 cent / call to 11 countries"

i would like to retract my negative vote, but it seems i can't undo my vote now.
just wondering, if this is prepaid card or not?
Yes it is, I got mine this morning and have made an hour or so of mobile calls, checked my balance, 3 calls, 75c, VERY HAPPY :)
.
how long is the expiry on this?
