3 Australia offer 8GB iPhone 3G for free with $49 plan

www.WirelessFederation.com/news: Just a few days after 3 Australia announced the pricing plans for the new iPhone 3G S, the part of VHA venture has overhauled the prices and now offers the 8GB iPhone 3G device free on a $49 plan.
The operator earlier announced that the cheapest plan where a user could have a completely subsidised handset was the $110 ‘Works’ plan, which included a 16GB iPhone 3G S handset.
But just a day before the handset has to go up for sales the operator lowered the bar for entry-level users. “In the true spirit of the 3 brand, we’ve delivered real innovation at a truly affordable price,” said John Casey, director of marketing at VHA.
3 Australia will offer the 8GB iPhone 3G free on its $49, $79 and $110 per month plans and the 16GB iPhone 3G S free on its $79 and $110 plans.
The operator on the other hand also eliminated the 500MB of additional monthly data it originally offered on the $49 plan.
The pricing is also “subject to change”, the company said.
