So they are in fact nothing even remotely like the same price.

In spades when you consider the cost of the
plan you need to actually use the data pack.

In fact if she doesn't use it to make any phone
calls at all and sends no texts, it is MUCH cheaper
to use an Aldi Pay As You Go Plan than anything
the Telstra has to offer. And that is true if she only
makes short calls and sends texts too. That is the
way I do it and it doesn't even cost me $10 month
and I do in fact make lots of short calls every Saturday
during the garage sale run now that we coordinate
the opening times using our mobiles.
