These images were posted on our forums just a few minutes ago. There is no confirmation that they’re 100% authentic. Only when it’s on Optus’s website can you be sure it’s all legit. But these look pretty damn real, so I thought I’d share.

- Pricing is pretty much the same as the previous iPhone. I guess Optus knew they’re on to a good thing. “As per Apple’s requierments” – so thank Apple for keeping the price low. No doubt Optus would have jacked up the price.
- “Additional subscription options available” Optus have some interesting add ons, like $10 for Yes Time, $35 for unlimited Optus 2 Optus calls and interestingly enough Unlimited data for $50/month. Yes, Unlimited Data. there’s no info on what sort of restrictions this unlimited data is, but 7.2mbit HSDPA plus unlimited data, on a relatively unclogged cell could be an interesting combo.
- Visual voicemail! No date on when it turns on, but good guess it will be available at least when the 3GS comes out. It will also be free.
- There will be Timeless plans in mid-July and then business plans in early August.
- For existing customers, you can log in to your My Optus portal on the 24th of June and get info on what sort of upgrade path you can take. We have no details on what the upgrade path is, but when we know, we’ll pass it on. There’s also mention of an iPhone app via the App Store that can judge your upgradeability. Kinda suss to me, but hey, it sounds cool!
- Our fears have been confirmed (if this is true) and that to use tethering on your iPhone, you need to purchase a separate data allowance. The included data in your cap doesn’t count.
Again, we have no confirmation that these are real, so take them with a grain of salt.
