There are only 2 things stopping me from purchasing this…. Motoblur and Telstra
- Jason
  
  Motoblur = Yes
  Telstra = No. $49 month including 1Gb data. Not much around better. Telstra has changed a *lot* in teh last 12 months and now are so far more competitive

    for that price on Virgin you get….
    
    2Gb of data
    unlimited free texts to ANY network
    $300 call credit
    FREE voicemail
    rollover credit
    Unlimited talk & text to other Virgin Mobile members 24/7
  - Cooper
    
    Let’s see you use 2GB of data on Virgin lol – it’d take more than a month
    
    Jokes aside – you do get a far better speed and coverage with Telstra

    honestly i have never been on telstra as i wouldn’t be able to afford it so i can’t really compare. But i can say i have been on Voda and Optus, and Virgin’s speeds are no different.

    there call rates are also more expensive!

    I’m with Jason – Telstra’s prices are becoming a lot more competitive and their network (especially in the country) is far, far superior to anyone elses.
    
    But then I love Motoblur, so who cares what I think right?
