I would go with a Telstra pre-paid plan. The coverage is good and that’s most important.

For the best phone coverage, Telstra is your best option. Where I live, many other phone companies do not have as good coverage, some have none at all. So check your coverage first up

I’m with Optus $2 days.
I can text, call, picture message all day long as much as I want for $2!
Plus I get I think its 500mb of internet.
It’s a great plan & if you run out of credit & its an emergency fear not you can get $3 credit through I.O.U which will be automatically deducted out of your next recharge 🙂
I’ll never change plans & recommend this one to everyone I know.

I are with Telstra, but I have heard the aldi deals are great

you want one that has only the basic functions

there are some good comments here

Hope you found a good plan suitable for your teenager.

I have a Telstra plan… has always worked well for me and I don’t have to worry about recharging or being out of credit when i need it.

What phone did you end up getting?

How is your daughter going with a mobile phone?

What did you end up choosing?

I would go with pre-paid, which ever model you get!

I have an Optus phone but from what I know Telstra generally provides the best coverage in rural areas.

Prepaid telephone and choose one that has buttons rather than a glass face (robust).

optus prepaid has some pretty good plans

$50 a month prepaid optus has unlimited calls and text. Never run out of credit and no surprises with bills

I would go with a Telstra pre paid mobile .

Yes i am with hello mobile

Telstra have great ore paid plans and have the best service in rural areas

Pre-paid mobile is a good option
