So your current usage on 3G/4G may not be reflective of your Wifi usage, yet the Telstra quota is treating them as equal, and may charge high per MB pricing if exceeded.</span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1424138175974_2972" dir="ltr"><span><br></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1424138175974_2972" dir="ltr"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1424138175974_3589">It is possible to nominate a Wifi AP/SSID as 3G or similarly connected to prevent the phone considering it to be a 'low cost' Wifi connection, however it is relatively obscure to do so and I'd think most people wouldn't even know the option existed.</span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1424138175974_2972" dir="ltr"><span><br></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1424138175974_2972" dir="ltr"><span>Regards,</span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1424138175974_2972" dir="ltr"><span>Mark.</span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1424138175974_2972" dir="ltr"><span><br></span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1424138175974_2972" dir="ltr"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1424138175974_3639">p.s., sorry for the 3 duplicate posts before, don't know how that happened.</span></div><br> <div style="font-family: Helvetica Neue-Light, Helvetica Neue Light, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, Sans-Serif; font-size: 16px;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1424138175974_2971"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, Sans-Serif; font-size: 12px;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1424138175974_2970"> <div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1424138175974_2969"> <hr size="1" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1424138175974_3281"> <font size="2" face="Arial" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1424138175974_2968"> <b id="yui_3_16_0_1_1424138175974_2967"><span style="font-weight:bold;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1424138175974_2966">From:</span></b> David Hughes <david@hughes.com.au><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> Mark ZZZ Smith <markzzzsmith@yahoo.com.au> <br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cc:</span></b> "ausnog@lists.ausnog.net (AusNOG@lists.ausnog.net)" <ausnog@lists.ausnog.net> <br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Tuesday, 17 February 2015, 12:22<br> <b id="yui_3_16_0_1_1424138175974_3597"><span style="font-weight: bold;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1424138175974_3596">Subject:</span></b> Re: [AusNOG] wifi phone calls<br> </font> </div> <div class="y_msg_container" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1424138175974_3280"><br><br clear="none">On 17/02/2015, at 11:15 AM, Mark ZZZ Smith <<a shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:markzzzsmith@yahoo.com.au" href="mailto:markzzzsmith@yahoo.com.au">markzzzsmith@yahoo.com.au</a>> wrote:<br clear="none"><br clear="none">> The funny thing is that it is also a theoretically dumb idea - Telstra Wifi would be removing 'premium priced' traffic from Telstra's 3G/4G networks. <br clear="none"><br clear="none"><br clear="none">Depends. I guess I'm a pretty typical user from a mobile device perspective. I pay Telstra some money and I get "unlimited" calls (of certain types), "unlimited" sms, and a chunk of data that is more than I use in any given month while I'm out and about. They make no more out of me if they carry that mobile data over 4G or over a cheaper WiFi network. Obviously there are cases where it would make a difference but there's probably a huge percentage where it wouldn't.<div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div class="yqt2003379276" id="yqtfd90569"><br clear="none"><br clear="none"><br clear="none">David<br clear="none">...<br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
