Mobile Phone Caps
I recently signed up to a new mobile carrier, LiveConnected. After doing a significant amount of research, they were - by a long way - the best value for money. They run on the Optus network, so let me quickly compare their $23.99 (reduced to $20.00 if you agree to have SMS advertising sent a few times a day) cap with Optus's $29 cap (I would compare it to the $19 one but it just blows it away).
Live Connected Apollo 20
- No Contract
- $300 credit
- 1,000 free Optus-Optus minutes after 8pm
- 300Mb of Data (excess charged at 44c/Mb)
- 80c/Minute voice and video call rate
- 35c Flagfall
- 25c National SMS
- 35c International SMS

- Standard call charge for voicemail (free deposit)
Optus 'yes' 29 Cap BYO Plan
- 12 Month Contract
- $150 credit (+$150 if you sign up for 12 months with your own phone)
- $160 Optus to Optus credit
- No included data
- 82c/Minute voice call rate
- 35c Flagfall
- 25c National SMS & MMS
- 50c International SMS
- 75c International MMS
- $1/Minute video call rate (+standard flagfall)
- $1.50/Minute international video call rate (+standard flagfall)
- 30c/30sec charge for voicemail (free deposit)
I don't know about you but for less money the LiveConnected one looks like better value (and no contract!!). Lets just hope that it isn't 'too good' and that they can stay in business for a long time to come! And no, I don't work for LiveConnected and I'm not being paid or receiving any benefits for posting this here. I just want other people to enjoy the great value that I currently am (more competition in the mobile industry never hurts)!
