New 'M' plans (existing mobile customer)

[Dr Tezza]

I'm exploring the new 'M' mobile plans that now appear in my 'Mobile Change Plan' options.

I am having trouble interpreting the table of options:

'M' plans - screen image.jpg (37.79 KiB) Viewed 4029 times

Specifically, what does the column "New Usage(Upload + Download) per Mbyte" mean ?

Thank you

Also, when one of these plans it taken up, is there any reduction to the users ADSL plan like what happens with the CAP plans? If so, what are the values/discounts?

An Exetel sales representative will advise you on this.

I'm also interested to hear what, if any, reduction in ADSL plan may exist if switching to an "M" plan. I'm contemplating churning one of my mobile numbers away, but I'd much rather keep my business with Exetel, especially if a discount was applicable in this scenario. Rukshani / thomashouseman could you possibly post with the outcome?

Exetel can answer you officially but the answer is no - there is no discount given on your ADSL plan when you take up a M plan
That used to happen with a previous generation of mobile plans (CAP) however the M plans are a better deal overall than that older generation of plan

Error by Exetel on their www site
Check out http://www.exetel.com.au/residential-mo ... -plans.php for the details of the inclusions in the M plans

Why do I have to pay a $25 fee to change to the M15 plan from the CAP19 plan then when the $19 plan only costs me $9 ($10 off adsl) - shouldn't it be free if the plan is costing you MORE?
That's the way Exetel have normally structured it...

Indicated in the column is the Excess usage charges for data.

There's no ADSL discount with the new "M" plans.

The "M plans are already discounted. Hence, there will be no additional discount on your ADSL service.

Could someone advise if there are any restrictions on using a new M plan with a tablet-phone device?
Unified devices such as the galaxy note 5.3" tab 7" and 8.8" are full 3G data and 2G mobile capable so they are a large smart phone by the definition.

The inclusions of the M plan state that "Data charges are included when the configured APN is ‘INTERNET’ or ‘OPTUSWAP’ or ‘YesINTERNET’ (for iPhones).

However after reading the exetel-optus info on tethering I am more confused than ever.
Do I get to use my 5GB of data allowance or am I running the risk of being charged $1.43pMB????

Can I use my sim on an M plan in a USB 3G modem if I set the APN to INTERNET ???????
