Our top pick was chosen based on the plan with the highest value score from a Finder partner.

Boost Mobile gets full Telstra coverage. This means its network coverage is the same as if you'd signed up with Telstra itself, unlike other mobile providers which operate on the slightly smaller wholesale network.

• Additional plan info

  • Network: Telstra 5G/4G network
  • Calls + texts: Unlimited standard national calls and texts
  • International inclusions: Unlimited standard international calls to 20 selected destinations, 1200 minutes of standard calls to 30 selected countries and 1200 standard texts to any country
  • Total cost over first 12 months: $230

• Pros and cons

  What we like about Boost:

  • It's the only other mobile provider to run on the full Telstra network besides Telstra itself - this will make a difference if you live or are visiting regional and rural areas of Australia
  • Plenty of international inclusions including unlimited calls to 20 countries, 1200 minutes of standard calls to 30 selected countries and 1200 standard texts to any country
  • International roaming pack available to purchase for use in selected destinations

  Watch out for:

  • Data drops down to 160GB per recharge after your first 365 days
  • Download speeds are capped at 150Mbps on the 4G and 5G network - this is still pretty fast so it shouldn't impact your day-to-day online activities
  • Not the best value plan - there are cheaper 365-day plans that run on the wholesale Telstra network

• How it compares

  Here's how Boost's 365-day plan stacks up against other similar Telstra network plans on Finder:
