Hello!

I’ve almost paid off my phone with Telstra and am looking to change providers after doing so.
Any cost efficient recommendations that still give good service?

  • Aldi mobile is great value for money and runs on Telstra coverage. Your data also rolls over each month


  • I wouldn’t recommend Optus or Vodaphone. Optus plans aren’t as good value as some others, the customer service is very bad with very little stores you can visit in person now, online service is terrible so slow and they do not properly pay attention to what your saying. Vodafone reception ive had issues with, not being able to get any in areas I otherwise would with another service.. which is why I’m now back with Optus but don’t recommend them. Can’t wait for my plan contract to end.


  • I think Telstra has the best coverage, but in saying that depends if you are going to use 5G or 4G. Kogan didn’t really work for me, I found Aldi mobile a better option.


  • I found Belong good value for money.


  • We’ve found Amaysim to be pretty good; but they do keep “upgrading” my plan to a more expensive one without giving me the option to decline.


  • Not my question but some good answers and will look into some of the options.


  • I’ve been with Kogan for a few years now and find them really great. We pay for the year up front and the data refreshes every month. They use Vodafone coverage.


  • We’re currently with Telstra too. I let my husband deal with it, he’s better in finding the best option for our family than me


  • Myself, husband and 3 eldest daughters all have pre paid with Beyond. Low monthly cost and we can share data between all of us.


  • Will follow the answers due to not being happy with our current provider.


  • Both my phone and internet are with Telstra currently. I’ve been with Optus & Vodaphone previously and wouldn’t go back at all.
    It’s worth the extra couple of dollars for Telstra and their coverage.


  • Honestly, Telstra has way better coverage. Always end up going back to them


  • I honestly think Telstra has better coverage than Optus in most areas but there are a lot of smaller companies that use the Telstra towers which are cheaper ie Boost mobile, so they might be an option?


  • Have you considered bundling your mobile plan with your home wifi? some companies offer this.


  • I’ll be following the replies here as we too are considering change.
