Which mobile prepaid plan is best in Australia?

Hey guys,
Okay! So I've always been a iphone user, but I recently bought a BB Bold 9900 because:
1. I heard the battery life is good
2. I like how all your notifications are in one place
3. I just need it to access emails and use wechat and whatsapp.
However, I found out you need something called a Blackberry Internet Pack or something?
Does this mean a traditional sim will not work?
Can someone explain this to me as a new blackberry user? What do I need?
I don't need to use it to make phone calls, I just need it for work email and light internet based chat programs.
Can someone recommend a cheap pre paid plan which would be suitable for me?
Thank you so much!

a traditional SIM will work as long as you have an active BIS (BlackBery Internet Service) Plan to access these features. So you need to call your service provider and ask them about their offerings. Good luck!
Click if you want to Thank someone. If Problem is resolved, so that others can make use of it.

Someday - and no one knows when that day will come - maybe all applications will be able to take advantage of the Retina display. But for the present, not many do: including all Adobe applications. There was a demo of Photoshop at the Apple World Wide Developers Conference of Photoshop running at native Retina resolutions but no one at Adobe in marketing is saying when, if or how the upgrade may be coming. It could be a week, it could be a year, it could be 2-3 years. No one knows. And only Apple app's (for the main part) are really utilizing the native Retina display.
I've seen some demos of some applications (Apple's) that take advantage of the Retina display and they're awesome. But in actually working in the here-and-now I've heard quite a few gripes, particularly on the Photoshop forum, of menus looking pixelated and/or 'blurry' so I'm not quite ready to jump into the Retina display boat just now. Don't get me wrong - others have ad are very, very pleased with their selection. But until Retina displays are available on larger monitors, the maximum work area that you're going to be able to use is 15" - and that's simply not enough room for full-blown graphic design. Then there's the cost factor - for the $4,000+ you spend for a completely full-blown Retina kit, you can get a standard MacBook Pro, 16 GB of RAM, a fast SSD and even the Apple Thunderbolt Display for the same amount.
The standard MacBook Pro isn't better than the Retina display: it's just different. And I think (and this is only my opinion - other graphic designers should feel free to jump in here) that it's the best computer that you can get for your specific purposes. And, towards that goal, I have to recommend a very good external monitor (there's nothing more annoying than having to use InDesign in a single-page mode rather than side-by-side because your monitor isn't big enough).
Remember that this is only my opinion and that others might jump in with their own. But I was in the electronic pre-press business for more years than I care to admit and we always - always - worked with at least 19" monitors (and that's back when dinosaurs actually ruled the world).
I hope that others will jump in with their comments. I'm going to follow this thread and see!
Good luck,
Clinton

I'm on a prepaid plan for the 4s, i want the hotspot option which isn't offered on the prepaid plan. heard the connection is too slow on the 4s only worth it on the 5 or 5s. would you agree? not sure how much the hotspot would increase my monthly bill...

To use the hotspot for any of those devices, I believe you have to switch to a postpaid account and plan. You can see the pricing for the available postpaid plans under the "Shop" area of the website.

I recently bought an iPhone 5s from boost mobile I thought service would be decent but it really *****. I'm wondering if there is any way I can switch carriers maybe to us cellular seeing that they recently added new prepaid plans

I recently bought an iPhone 5s from boost mobile I thought service would be decent but it really *****. I'm wondering if there is any way I can switch carriers maybe to us cellular seeing that they recently added new prepaid plans and have good service in my area. I do know boost operates with sprint but not sure what I can do because having an expensive phone with crappy service really *****

Sorry, but Boost reportedly does not offer unlocking for iPhones, so you're stuck with them unless you can return the iPhone for a refund and cancel the service, or can sell the iPhone to someone who could use it with Boost.
Regards.

I have recently bought a new factory unlocked Apple iPhone 5s from an authorised reseller in India which got a 1 Year Warranty. Shortly I plan to move to Australia for some work assignment. Please let me know if my warranty is covered internationally?

Pretty sure you didn't.
You can only purchase a factory unlocked iPhone directly from Apple.

It is not.

Help with buying contract-free iPhone 5S with T-MOBILE $30.00 prepaid plan

Ok, I just want to clarfiy
If I purchase a T-MOBILE contract-free iPhone 5S from Apple here http://store.apple.com/us/buy-iphone/iphone5s
will I be able to get the T-MOBILE plan listed here with the Nano sim I receive from my iPHONE 5S from Apple http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-plans
"$30 per month—Unlimited web and text with 100 minutes talk
100 minutes talk | Unlimited text | First 5 GB at up to 4G speeds
This plan is only available for devices purchased from
Wal-Mart or devices activated on T-Mobile.com"
or will I have to get a nano sim here http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/sim-card#close-cart
and then activate online on tmobile.com to get the prepaid plan for $30.00?

No, the SIM card included with the T-Mobile phone on the Apple site does not allow you to activate for the $30 prepaid, as there is no "activation code" provided with the phone and you need a code for prepaid activation on the T-Mobile site. As you know T-Mobile store will not help you with this plan.
I just did this. (1) I went on Apple store site and purchased an iPhone 5c selecting the T-Mobile "unlocked and contract-free SIM-Free" option.
(2) You also need to go on T-Mobile and buy the (so called) "activation kit" http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/sim-card ; select the "Nano Sim Card" "Phone" then "Add to cart". This is currently free, so I got 2, in case. It took about 3 business days to receive the package via UPS.
The package has instructions, but does not mention the $30 option (it is not widely advertised in T-Mobile as you know). However, no problem, it will become available during activation.
(3) Now replace the SIM card that you received from Apple with the SIM card you received from T-Mobile.
(4) Before you start the activation process, write down clearly (and double check) the "activation code" found in the T-mobile activation kit, the "SIM card serial number" found in the kit as well and the "Phone serial number (IMEI)" found on the iPhone box you received from Apple.
(5) Go to T-Mobile "Activate your new phone" https://www.t-mobile.com/shop/plans/ActivateCodes.aspx and enter those 3 numbers, very carefully. (I have heard any mistake may stop the process and you need a new SIM card to restart).
In the next screen, you will pick the plan (all prepaid plans are showing, including the $30 100 min / unlimited text / web, but beware as there is another $30 for 1500 min, no web) and then a phone number (or transfer your phone number) - when you click "next" you actually receive a text message on the phone right away! In the next screen you enter your payment information (debit, credit or purchased prepaid card), then you are done.
(6) I actually went back to my-t-mobile.com to create a login - pw so I can change my payment method later and see the data and minutes used.
No need to adjust any APN settings. Got LTE in my area and internet speed clocks at an amazing 32.77 Mbps Download. ENJOY!

Prepaid Plan

What prepaid plan lets you get stuff from the Media Store online? I am on Core prepaid plan right now, but it won't let me download anything from the store and when I go to Get It Now on my phone, what I want isn't listed on there. My phone is compatible to what I want according to the store. I don't understand it. I know that prepaid can get stuff, because my mom has prepaid and I can't remember which one she has. Please help me. Thanks in advance!

[Very Urgent] Prepaid plan on iphone - will apps, web, data work normally?

Hi, I am keen on getting a prepaid plan.
I am very frustrated with ATT and T-Mobile because they need me to unlock my iphone in order to use web and data access. If I don't, I can only use calls and text on the iphone. If I get an iphone 5, get it unlocked and place a prepaid SIM card into it, will all the apps work normally? Can I buy the ATT prepaid plan? If not, which carrier should I get?
Please reply soon as I need to get a new line within a day or two. Thank you so much!

Hi Meg, thank you so much! I saw on the Virgin Mobile website that they have a $35 unlimited monthly plan. They also have a cheaper $20 plan. They look quite interesting.
Is there anything I should watch out for with regards to Virgin Mobile?

Can i still use pay as you go plan on a smartphone prepaid plan?

can i still use pay as you go plan on a smartphone prepaid plan?

Yes you can. However, 4G smartphones cannot be activated on prepaid. 3G devices have 3 different available plans. Verizon has an exclusive plan with Walmart which consists of unlimited talk and text with a 1GB for $50. The other 2 plans are unlimited talk and text with 2GB for $60 or 4GB for $70

Which project management software is best, which project management software is best

Which project management software is best for my macbook pro?

In order to give you a solid recommendation, we'd need to know what needs you have.
What type of project are you planning on managing?
What size of team?
Timeline?
Extent?
What are some things you need to manage (emails, phone calls, stages, tasks, phases, etc)?
Without any of this, it's hard to give you a recommendation, as EVERYTHING will work on your MacBook Pro, especially if you have Windows dualbooted.
However, I can tell you that the best project management software I've used to date (and continue using) is JobNimbus. It's both CRM and project management software, very easy to use, and the pricing is way lower than others I've seen.
Give that a try (they have a 30-day trial) and try to reply back with more info so we can help you out a little bit better.
Cheers

IPhone on Prepaid plan pointless account balance messages

We've been discussing this issue on the ATT forums, but I feel that the only way to get it addressed it by Apple.
Currently if you are on the prepaid plan you receive account balance notices after every transaction (Phone call, Mail Check, Web Browsing).
Since the iPhone has an unlimited data plan you account balance doesn't change any time you access the edge network. Unfortunately ATT still sends you a message notifying you your account balance has not changed.
At first this isn't a big issue. Dismiss the message (Which you have to do before you can access ANYTHING on your phone) and continue on. The problem is if you have your phone checking for email (which is one of the point of having a phone like the iPhone), you'll receive a message every time your phone hits the network.
These messages can pile up and this morning I had to clear 15+ messages before I could use my phone. Talk about a terrible user experience.
Also if a balance message is present while a call comes in the screen doesn't respond. You first have to lock the phone by hitting the sleep/wake button, then unlock it again hitting the same button. It took me a while to figure out what was going on with that situation.
At the bottom of the page there is a link to the ATT support thread.
Please don't reply with ... We'll just get a contract and the messages will stop. I don't want to be on a contract plan. I enjoy the prepaid plan. It works for me.
So here is what I am looking for.
1) Can the messages be stopped on the iPhone side
2) If not, could Apple add a "Dismiss All" option. That would (for me at least) be an acceptable solution.
3) Why do the messages lock the screen when there is an incoming call?
Thanks for all your help. At the least I am hoping this will make Apple aware of the problems and get them addressed

There are a few points which I think need to be aired on this issue: that pre-paid is a perfectly viable option for the iPhone, that AT&T will do nothing to solve this issue, and that Apple, alone, can and should.
If pre-paid is an option both AT&T and, for less understandable reasons, Apple want to discourage, then may God help all of us pre-paid consumers. However, Apple should be interested in selling iPhones, and the deal to receive money from AT&T from subscribers is a problem, because is lessens Apple's motivation to tolerate iPhones being used as pre-paid phones, unlocked, you name it.
That said, pre-paid is a great option for those who use very few minutes (like me), who may be well-to-do foreigners only staying in America for a limited time, or who are uncertain if AT&T is a viable carrier. Tolerating it also projects a sense of respect for the consumer that Apple's target market would appreciate. I know I do.
AT&T, though, receives less of a commitment from consumers on pre-paid, and thereby less expected money, so they will do everything to fight it.
Apple, however, can easily modify their software to politely receive these notifications from AT&T, and then only inform the user if they choose to be so informed of the account balance in the iPhone's settings, or, even better, go into a spread-sheet like "Balance history" tab to explicitly view this information.
This is what Apple can do. It may take them a couple of man-hours to roll this into the next iPhone software update, but Apple: consider this worth it in light of being able to portray yourself as being on the consumer's side in the consumer-carrier tug-of-war that this, on however small a scale, has become.

Please hold for a Verizon Wireless sales representative to assist you with your order. Thank you for your patience.
You are now chatting with 'xxxxxxx'
xxxxxx: Hello. Thank you for visiting our chat service. May I help you with your order today?
You: i was just wondering if the $50 prepaid plan includes unlimited web/data on basic phones?
xxxxxx: Yes
You: thank you!
i edited the reps name but this was the answer i just got.

Used/remaining minutes on $35 prepaid plan

Phone: LG Revere
This phone can display balance information as:
"Balance: $104.10" (remaining balance)
"PMT Date: 6/15/14" (date that funds expire)
This worked well on my old plan since text msgs cost 10 cents & calls were 30 cents or 15 cents/min. This week I switched to the $35 prepaid plan giving me 500 anytime minutes with unlimited text & 500 MB of data for 30 days.
1. My online account page shows my balance is $69.10 which accounts for the $35 payment for the first 30 days of the plan but the Revere's balance display still shows the $104.10 amount. Why isn't the phone's display accurately updated? Following a Customer Service suggestion, I did the *228 & pressed 1 to reprogram the phone. It made no difference.
2. Is there an easy way to check the minutes remaining without calling Customer Service? #MIN only tells me that my balance is $69.10 (and sends me a text with that info) but doesn't tell me that I have 434 minutes remaining. The Customer Service rep told me that, but I couldn't find this total the VZW website. The account usage page lists every call, text, etc. but unless I manually add up the duration of each call, I can't find out how many of those 500 minutes have been used this month. Is this information somewhere else?

Hi there Gipsonsb!
That's a fantastic question. I would highly recommend contacting our Prepaid department. They're available just for you 24/7. You can reach them by calling 888-294-6804.
Thank you!
