If you sign up for the Telstra Next G product, you will get a private IP address, if you sign up for the BigPond Wireless product you will receive a public IP address.

Re: [SLUG] [ot] cheap sms?
Is there any reason you can't use a *G dataplan to fire off the data versus SMS? At 10c a SMS you're up for a $6k bill each month. At 160 bytes a transaction (normal SMS length), 2000 a day is roughly 300 kilobytes uncompressed. * 31 days is ~ 10 gig of data. Maybe with compression you could squeeze that 2:1 into a data plan for (hopefully far, far under) $50 a month.
