Ever since Apple iPhone was released in US back in June, there has been a great anticipation on when it is going to be released in Australia. According to unofficial sources on the Internet, we probably will not see this most desirable Apple gadget in Australia until sometime in 2008. Moreover it is likely that […]

Thanks to kati who posted on OzBargain about OfficeWorks‘ latest clearance sale, with everything from 50% to 70% off. As I was more interested in cheap gadgets, so I browsed into the “Tech Products” category. Here are some cheapies that I have spotted: O2 XDA II Mini SmartPhone $499 O2 XDA II Mini SmartPhone is […]

Thanks to mjwills who posted this comment on OzBargain, which leads me to this thread on Whirlpool forum, where a trick is discussed to use Optus Prepaid’s call diversion functionality to make mobile calls to any phone at 10 cents per minute. I am a bit of a late comer on this, as the trick […]

Encountered a new concept the other day — do surveys and get free calls! CommuniTel is a new telecommunication company that provides override code for national/international/mobile calls on the cheap.

In fact […]

It started on 19 December, and the sale will end at noon 23 December. That means there’s only 24 hours before you can save 10% from already good prices […]

I bought a set of Doro cordless phone (830R with 3 hand sets) last year for $199 at a sale, and I was pretty happy. The phones were small, fully digital, have lots of useful functions and (most importantly) it is cheap. But that was last year. DECT phones are now much more popular and […]

Tim wrote in for you voda users: Vodafone prepaid recharge is 10% cheaper at all Woolworth, Safeway, Dick Smith, Big W and Tandy. That seems to be most of the places that you would recharge your prepaid. Thanks!

Revolution Telecom, that is on Vodafone network who claimed to be Australia’s cheapest prepaid SIM, is on marketing spree. It’s affiliated site, Join Revolution, is giving away AUD$30 free credit when you sign up. That’s 30 bucks for doing nothing to use their 9.9cents/30 second + 20cents flag fall mobile phone network. Not bad if […]
