Vodafone has launched their prepaid 3G wireless broadband service.Vodafone is charging $19 for 500MB, $29 for 1GB and $49 for 3GB data. All credits expire after 30 days but unused data up to 5GB can be rolled over.
In comparison, Optus charges $30 for 1GB, $40 for 2GB on 30 day expiry; $50 for 3GB, $70 for 4GB and $100 for 6GB on 60 day expiry. Three charges $15 for 500MB, $29 for 2GB and $49 for 4GB on 30 day expiry and $149 for 12GB on 60 day expiry.
Both Vodafone and Optus offer additional data (10 and 15 percent respectively) for online recharges paid by credit card. However when you read the fine print you find some differences; Vodafone counts data usage in 1MB block, Optus in 10MB blocks (but the first 30MB on any day counts as only 10MB). iTWire was unable to find similar information Three’s web site.
