mobile phone plans

[mic-d]

I'm trying to get to the bottom of mobile phone plans. I have a telstra 50 mobile phone plan that sometimes only cost me around the $50 a month but other times it blows out to $120 -$170. Now I'm soon to be out of contract and am looking for a better option. I have looked into a few websites that compare and recommend plans and there seems to be a $49 capped plan (not Telstra) that looks good. It has a $230 cap. Does this mean that I can make up to $230 in calls and still only pay $49?? This plan's call costs are higher and flagfall is higher so how do I work out if what cost me $170 with telstra might not end up costing me more than $230 with the other plan? (and so end up much the same as the telstra plan).
Why is it someone with a PhD still can't work these damn things out??!!

Cheers

$49 cap means u dont pay more or less than 49 unless you spend over the cap $230. ( dont quote me on that altough i'm pretty shore thats right)
