Whatever works for you. Yes, those young sales staff are sometimes all hot air.

Mine plan is a $49 plan with Optus. I pay $6 per month for the phone - over 24 months contract. With that I get $330 of included calls (voice, SMS texts etc), and 250MB of data to access the internet. I use the Optuc App to check my daily usage and I have never reached anywhere near half of my limits. I use it now more than the home phone. Which is becoming a waste of money. I know I could have found a cheaper plan but this one is convenient for me.

Back on track... I have the following Apps....

- Sky Voyager
- MoonPhase
- Soho
- Astro Cast
- Weatherzone
- NASA
- GPS Motion X
- Astronomy (an astronomy quiz/trivia game)
-
Astronomy Jigsaw puzzle
- Geocaching
- Unit Converter

- ABC
- Rage (Rage playlists)
- Tunein Radio - The best internet radio in this country
- eBay
- Optus My Account
- PayPal
- Shift Worker
- Wikipedia
