Friends,

Woolies WA in their latest catalogue and I bought one:

KTC (?) Telstra T100 NextG blue tick (best for bush!) mobile with $10 bonus, expires in 30 days. $100 unlocking fee first six months, $27.50 thereafter.

Cheap at half the price just for the battery. The Post Office sells this one for $49 and I am not kidding.

Had to drive to a second Woolies as the first one did not have one. Must be a loss leader and a run-out model. A friend bought a NextG Samsung for $25 at Coles.

Problems with NextG: Telstra monopoly, 35 cents or so connect fee, 40 cents for 30 secs. And when you register the phone the Telstra Phillipino call centre wants to talk you into a different prepaid capped scheme, which my or may not suit you.

Taxation as a means of achieving prosperity is like a man standing inside a bucket trying to lift himself up.
