Virgin have announced a 5GB of data for $100 a month plan for the iPhone in Australia. That’s still very expensive compared to the data plans in the US though.
Not quite 5GB of data for $50 a month, but at least it’s a step in the right direction.
Virgin is selling Apple’s 8GB iPhone 3G for $0 upfront on a $70 monthly plan, which includes $520 worth of calls and 1GB of data. For an extra $30 per month, customers can receive an extra 4GB of data and opt for the 16GB iPhone 3G for $0 up front. All Virgin iPhone plans are for 24 months and it has no initial plans to sell the iPhone 3G outright.
