I'm in Australia too and use Soul/TPG(runs on the Optus network). I pay $15 a month for 1gb data and $40 worth of calls. While I'm not a super heavy user, I never go over my cap. This is what has always kept me from buying a contract subsidised phone...my no-phone contract is just too damn good. Would love an iPhone, but the only 2 options I have are a 24month contract at around $50/month or lay down around $900AUD for the phone. Instead I picked up an ex AT&T WP7 phone for $US160 :)
