Is having the latest iPhone a sign of wealth?

[donnashuggy]

Some people get them on plans I think........lol

Everyone has different priorities, there are quite a few laundromats where I live so these people must not have washing machines, yet they all seem to have phones

Yeah, so I've heard, but I don't have one of those ones

I like the model I have but it is getting a bit old.  Don't think I'll upgrade(?) though

And ANDROID…What does android mean in the phone world? My son son say its just Samsung?

Smart phones

i-phone (iOS)

or

Android - uses Google's Android as its operating system. Any brand (except i-phone).

I hardly use my mobile. $20 per month, 500GB data. Unused rolls over up to $40 calls, 1GB data.  Lived most of my life without one. Don't have a landline at home so need some form of telephone.

Samsung is so much better than the iphone, I promise.

I don't have a landline at home either.  Well I do but it doesn't work and I'm paying something like $35 a month line rental for a landline phone that can't even get a dial tone.

Depends what you need it for, really. Much of a muchness build quality. Different apps, different ease of connectivity with other devices.

 Each have their faults and pluses if you read the reviews.

that reminds me, had a Samsung for two weeks as a beta-tester. It was ok but not the best for me.

Telstra?

Have a look at their Customer Service Guarantee for compensation payments for a service you can't use, because it is dead in your case!

Repairs

• We aim to promptly repair faults or service difficulties on your Standard Telephone Service and specified Enhanced Call Handling Features. Note that the CSG Standard does not cover non-voice faults or service difficulties such as modem and fax dropouts.
  
  
• We'll repair faults and service difficulties within specified time periods based on the service location (see table below).
  
  
• Where delay is envisaged in repairing your Standard Telephone Service, we may offer you an interim telephone service, or in some circumstances, a choice between an interim telephone service and an alternative service, while waiting for your permanent telephone service to be repaired.
  
  
• You may be entitled to a CSG payment for every working day of delay beyond an agreed repair date. See 'How much do we pay?' for more details.

The guaranteed maximum repair periods specified by the CSG Standard are:

Service location Time for repair1

Urban	End of 1 full working day after report1
Major Rural	End of 2 full working days after report
Minor Rural	End of 2 full working days after report
Remote	End of 3 full working days after report

1. The time for repair relating to 'end of 1 full working day after report' applies to all service locations where the fault occurs due to an administrative error by the telephone company, or if the fault can be rectified without the telephone company attending customer premises or undertaking internal or external plant work.
