Optus iPhone 4 business plans blow away rival Telstra by serving up equivalent value to Optus’ iPhone 4 consumer plans with free iPhone 4 tethering (using the iPhone 4 as a modem).
Optus has been shrewd with its iPhone 4 business cap plan pricing, delivering parity with its consumer plans through the Optus Business Complete Advantage iPhone 4 plans and delivering unlimited call time plans for heavy business users in conjunction with download limits that can only be described as ‘massive’ on its Business Timeless Advantage iPhone 4 plans. Optus include tethering for free on the iPhone 4, which adds $9.95 of value to Optus’ iPhone 4 business plans, as with the iPhone 3G and 3GS Optus charged users a premium to use their included iPhone plan data on downloads while tethering verses when used as a mobile.
Optus, via their Twitter account have confirmed that the iPhone 4G 16Gb will be free on the $59 plans and above, in much the same structure as Optus’ iPhone 4 consumer plan pricing.
