$0 < $9.90

I can get plenty of SIMs for $0, so forget paying for them

If you want your kids to have a job, support a Great Australian company like
Telstra.

Or you'll be speaking with a Singapore ching-chong accent in just a few
years.

What a load of shit!

If any company can't or won't supply the market competitively they are
*NOT* getting my business.

As for Telstra in my personal experience they deliberately turn a blind
eye to criminal use of their infrastructure because of *GREED* for more
dollars!

Well there are two issues here:

1. You are so short sighted (perhaps asain-y already?) that you don't see
the long term costs of supporting some dodgy company. Once Telstra has gone
broke then competition will actually decrease, Stupid.

2. You obviously have a grievance for something that Telstra supposedly
did.. so instead of being objective, you're going into a comparison
half-cocked. Which my sources assure me you will lose.

Lets pretend we have an option. I have the choice between telstra or a
telstra reseller for my fixed line service... hmm, now let me see.

I gave up on Telstra years ago when I got put on a Pension because of
them. That's another good reason *NOT* to deal with them.

But who cares, I only have to work one or two days a week for something
to do and get a bit of pocket money. Thanks Telstra! :)

That's exactly my point.. you pontificate as if you have a genuine technical
concern and sprout as if you do, but then the truth comes out that its just
a personal vendetta. Would have been easier if you prefaced your comment
with that fact.

There is actually a technical aspect to my grievance with Telstra, but
if they were forced to rectify the problem it would cost *MILLIONS* of
dollars.

As long as Government Departments and large business don't realise they
are being ripped off every month for un-authorised phone calls it will
continue.

But really I don't give a shit, this no longer directly affects me but
stuffed if I will support them ever again over they way they treated me.

That's because people have been patriotic and supported it in the past. We

Only a stupid customer supports Telstra out of "patriotism".
Most buy through Telstra due to superior price, quality, and service.

If you dont like Telstras offerings, go elsewhere.

I wouldnt support ANY company out of "patriotism".
