I have a $60 plan which I bought my HTC Desire through Telstra. For that $60 I
get $50 of included calls. When that $50 is used up I start getting charged
extra.

So, if I make $60 worth of calls I'll get a bill for $60 plus $10 for the extra
calls made outside of the $50 call "credit".

SMSes, MMSes and some calls which aren't on the included calls segment will also
be charged extra (although I do get 50 free SMSes). So, if I send 60 SMSes I'll
see a charge for 10 SMSes ($2.50?) on the bill.

MMSes aren't included in any bonuses so they actually make up the bulk of what I
pay over the $60 a month.

So, $60 for the plan, $10 for extra calls, $2.50 for extra SMSes and say, $15
for MMSes can calls to some numbers (overseas, premium) would give me a bill for
the month of $87.50.

When this plan expires I'll move onto a suitable cap plan. Not sure what will be
available when that occurs. Or, if the phone's fucked by then I'll look at
something different, perhaps with Optus. Who knows?
