Telstra today announced Australian pricing and availability for the iPad 2 with Wi-Fi + 3G. The Apple tablet will be available to purchase from 15 November via Telstra Business Centres, select Telstra Shops, online or over the phone (Ph: 132200).
All versions of the Wi-Fi + 3G tablet will be offered by the telco on a range of two-year contracts and Pre-Paid data plans. (At present, there are no options for 12 month plans.)
“Our customers will be able to buy iPad 2 on a plan that includes no upfront fee, a generous monthly data allowance and which allows them to pay the device off over 24 months," said Telstra Mobile Broadband Director Anthea Roberts. "Customers will also be able to purchase iPad 2 outright and team it with one of our popular iPad Pre-Paid options that allows them to top up data as they need.”
Pricing
The 16GB iPad 2 will cost $0 upfront on $49, $59, $69 and $99 plans. Monthly data allowance is capped at 1GB, 4GB, 8GB and 15GB, respectively.
The 32GB iPad 2 will also cost $0 upfront, with monthly costs jumping to $54, $64, $74 and $104 (data allocations remain the same as above).
The 64GB model, meanwhile, comes saddled with an upfront cost of $24, plus $57, $67, $77 and $107 per month. Again, data allowances remain unchanged.
You can also buy each model outright for $720 (16GB), $840 (32GB) and $936 (64GB). Curiously, the 16GB and 64GB models are slightly cheaper than at the Apple Store, while the 32GB version is one dollar more expensive.
