Telstra confirms “dedicated iPad plans” for Next G

As expected, Optus joins Telstra, Vodafone and 3 as all Aussie 3G carriers offer a group hug to Apple’s delayed iPad.

As iPad fever grips the nation, Telstra today announced it will offer dedicated data plans for the iPad 3G in Australia.

VHA is first to confirm they'll back the iPad 3G – but will Aussie carriers also adopt subsidised contracts alongside Apple’s prepaid model in the US?

Telstra will permit unused data on its pre-paid iPad 3G plans to be carried forward into the following month rather than expire at the 30 day use-by period, but there’s a catch...

Telstra's new Next G prepaid wireless plans come with 1GB free upfront, plus up to six months expiry on recharges -- can anyone say "perfect for Apple iPad?"

Telstra reveals its prepaid Next G plans for Apple's 3G iPad, spanning from $20 for 1GB to $100 for 12GB, all with 30 day expiry.

Hot off the heels of Telstra's iPad announcement, Optus have announced their own range of data plans for Apple's hot new device.

We put Telstra, Optus, Vodafone and 3 to the test in Australia’s first comparison of iPad 3G providers – and if you expect Next G to be fastest, the results will surprise you!

Apple's decision to pioneer the use of the new micro-sim format in the iPad has enabled operators, such as Optus and Telstra, to launch iPad specific mobile data plans even through they are not selling iPads. But if you can get a better deal on another plan, you can simply hack the standard sim.
