Hey guys this is just for a marketing/consumer behaviour assignment. Wondering where you guys would sign up for a new mobile contract and phone. Focusing on melbourne/victoria buyers so posted here.

Do you like sitting down on those couches in Yes Optus's new lay out stores, do you like the free xbox's or mp3's when signing up with strathfield or jb hi fi or do you like the convenience of ordering your new contract and phone over the phone or internet?

Had a bad experience with any of these? i phone never came in on the specified date because sold out prior and went emo tenfold? Guy at the local telstra doesn't know shiet and keeps staring at your missus's boobs? What are your reasons?

i know theres a few choices so just pick whatever relates to you

any input would be awesome. thanks!

Personally for the couple I have had, I prefer to go to the supplier directly, in my case Telstra and Optus. Telstra was chosen for coverage and nothing else and Optus was chosen for the availability of plans and the iPhone plus I was pissed off with Telstra for their high excess charges and useless staff each time I spoke to someone.

found a corker deal with TPG, and i'm in the middle of switching. I've got the sim, but haven't activated yet and haven't canceled with optus yet, but i'm practically up and running with TPG, which is Soul, which i guess is just optus in the end :laugh:

i did mine over the net as i think that was the only way of doing it with TPG.

$19.99, $300 cap, NO CONTRACT, just pay by the month. Got my number brought over from optus. Happy camper. I'm currently $49 cap with Optus for like $230 calls, so TPG was a no brainer especially with no lock-in contract. leave whenever i want.

Hope i haven't missed something, and there's some catch 22 :cool:

i BYO'd phone, so don't know about the deals with phones... there were some to choose from though, check it out at TPG if you're keen :laugh:

so yeah, for me it's just sim/plan. I think it's the cheapest NO CONTRACT plan going, well, cap plan anyway. Other has $19, $300 caps but they're 24month lock in

Same ^^ although not as viable now but when the market was strong it saved my a lot of money to buy my phones in HK and go into no contracts, here but since we crashed you don't save that much anymore plus I haven't held onto a phone for over a year for ages, it's just not worth holding on to when I can trade my phone in and get 2/3rds my money back and pay 1/3 for the newest one

How can you not have Crazy Johns??? :/

i got my first contract there, since that expired 7+ years ago, ive just been out of contract and buy my phones outright when i want a new one and that leaves me to swap plans etc without locking into anything

yep, i think i've had 1, maybe 2 contracts during my mobile history, like the freedom to move if something good comes up. And i saw this TPG ad on the back of a bus, and i'm in, activated the account tonight. Should be up and running in about 24-48 hours.

what plan you got at the moment Ash?

      I transferred from full time service to Army Reserve, so I still have access, work has been super keen to get me in to work in the OPS realm, so just turning up to use the gym......and ovens, isn't causing any issues, apart from me needing to keep on telling them that I won't be doing any reserve days until I get my joint in Goulburn sorted  Basically I can now work whenever I want, for how long I want now, and it's all tax free Next time we have some fires or floods you might see me covered in mud, or cutting sick in some plant equipment cleaning up, the Reserves love getting in the news, LOL

      Final finish outcome of 80°c was typical to the pics, I've turned the oven down to 50°c and will pick them up after the gym tomorrow  The before and after difference was amazing, the wrinkle paint has covered all of the casting marks completely It did take a couple of hours to key it all and get in all of the crevices, but, for me it was time well spent for the final outcome, but I have all the time in the world to do it at the moment  Ended up with 4 coats, each sprayed at different angles to get optimal coverage and thickness As for the fixtures and intake box thingo that hasn't made it, the supplier is apparently posting the fixtures, and, are now sending a different CAI that is in stock The replacement CAI is actually better than what I originally ordered, but will require a pod filter that locates under the front bar, still serviceable, but it basically removes the whole OEM filter box and ducts into the front bar, so filter cleaning will require ramps and the removal of some front bar undertray, not a war stopper, just some ramps and an additional 10 minutes work every few months From looking at it it is made from alloy pipe from the throttle body, through the CAI hole in the rad support, then right turning under the bar, luckily the wrinkle paint was on special and I got 2 cans for $30ish, so the alloy will get the same wrinkle treatment as the intake manifold, hopefully it turns up soon, either way, the car will be getting booked in soon, if the parts aren't here, I'll just get MX5 Mania to " make it work"

      I'm so glad base security is so high. I see they stopped some random codger from being able to just wander in off the street... 😛   PS, intake looks good!

      Is there a good place to learn how an engine works online?

      By RA708 · Posted

      Exactly how each part works and how they all work together to make the engine function. That's all I'd need to do a basic build. Maybe how forced induction works. I probably need to learn some of the maths behind it all as well.
