Telstra pricing for the iPhone 3GS

Late in the day on the day before they start selling the iPhone 3GS, Telstra have finally released their price and plan details. And there’s quite a bit to go through.

Not included in the tables below, is Telstra’s ‘Phone Plan Ultimate’. There’s no upfront charge for the phone, and you get $1,500 of standard voice calls SMS to Australian numbers… but only 150MB of data per month. The minimum cost on this plan over the 24 month contract is $3,600. ‘Ulimatish’ rather than Ulimate I’d say.

Now, to the other plans.
