Hi Paul,
this was one of the things Telstra first suggested when it joined the
party. AT&T does the same through Starbucks in the US.
Here is the article I read from the Apple site <http://www.apple.com/
au/pr/library/2008/07/1telstra.html> and at the end of the relevant
section it reads:
iPhone 3G will be available from Telstra on 11 July with a range of
specially designed Next G iPhone 3G plans that meet the needs of any
customer. The Next G iPhone 3G plans start at $30 per month with an
upfront cost of $279 for the 8GB model and $399 for the 16GB model.
Customers will receive the 8GB iPhone 3G model at no cost with the
$80 plan and either the 8GB or the 16GB model at no cost with plans
starting at $100 per month. All plans include free Wi-Fi access at
Telstra hotspots and require a 24-month contract.
When you do a google you'll see a lot more. I think it is typical
that Telstra sales people don't know their products.
Regards,
Eugene

My understanding is that if I take my iPhone down to my favourite
cafe, which has a free wireless hotspot (that I use often with my
laptop), I can connect and browse etc. for free.
I am reading in today's Australian that this is not the case.
Can anyone clarify this for me
I haven't seen the article in the paper, but the Telstra
salesperson said to me that all traffic was chargeable, even wifi
traffic. I rang a networking guru who said that he believed this
was highly unlikely.
I have my iPhone connected to my wifi connection, and have
downloaded heaps of stuff, which doesn't count toward the NextG
data as far as I can see.
Regards,
Paul.
