Optus Australia today announced its rates for the new iPhone 3G, offering both pre-paid and traditional post-paid plans.

Despite being incredibly confusing, Optus has said that a pre-paid (pay as you use) iPhone will cost $729 for the 8GB and $849 for the 16GB. Pricing starts at $30 per “recharge” but without any data allowance. Data service inclusion starts at a $40 Turbo Cap recharge – the more you pay the more data allowance your given.

“Cap” plans start at $19/month with 100MB of internet data and “$50 of calls and text”. Prices go up from there, with the highest price priced at $179/month with 1GB of data and “$1500 of calls and text”.
