Optus Prepaid customers - price increase alert

Standard Pre-Paid rate increases as of 3 March 2009. Includes any credit already on the account from what I can see.

Basically:

Billing Increments: Calls will be charged in 1 minute blocks instead of 30 second blocks.

SMS Rates: 25c to Optus/Boost Pre-paid. Increase to 29c for all other Australian numbers.

MMS Rates: Decrease to the equivalent SMS rate.

National & international Flagfall: Increase to 35c

International: Calls to NZ; HK; USA; UK; and Singapore: .97c per minute. All others: $1.63 per minute.

It is unsure whether this will apply to just new pre-paid customers or existing ones as well.
