Optus has just announced iPhone plans including pre-paid and post-paid plans for those who registered on their iPhone site.

To summarise these:

  • $79 a month gets you an iPhone for free
  • Include 800MB of data per month.
  • Unlimited data usage in the first month applies.
  • Prepaid the phone costs $729 for 8GB and $849 for 16GB phone

These are pretty good, however Optus’ coverage doesn’t better that of Telstra’s Next-G network.  More details are available at the Optus iPhone site.
