Think Mobile plans might give you the unique option to choose either the Telstra wholesale or Vodafone mobile network, but its plans aren't very good value in general.
Its Ultimate plans on the Vodafone 4G network are passable, but only if you're prepared to lock yourself into a contract for up to 12 months.
Think Mobile could be right for you if:
But keep in mind that Think Mobile:
Think Mobile has 3 categories of mobile plans: Classic, Super and Ultimate. Its Classic plans run on the Telstra 4G wholesale network, with Super and Ultimate on the Vodafone 4G network.
If you thought the Classic plans were bad, Think Mobile's Super plans are even worse. These average out to $43.34 per 1GB and don't include unlimited calls in Australia. You'll only get $200–$500 worth of credit depending on which Super plan you get.
Its Ultimate plans perform a little better as you can choose a monthly plan or a 6- or 12-month contract. The value gets better the longer the contract lasts.
Think Mobile uses parts of the Telstra 3G and 4G mobile network for its Classic plans and the Vodafone 4G network for its Super and Ultimate plans.
If you want to reach Think Mobile with a comment or question, its customer care team is available from 7:30am to 6:30pm AEST, Monday to Friday. You can contact support using the following methods:

i am 82 years old and i want a mobile phone plan only want to make 2or 3 calls a week
Hi Ted,
Thanks for reaching out to Finder.
You can visit our list of mobile phone plans for seniors to compare which plan would be suitable for your needs. On that page, you have the option to modify the results and select prepaid sim only.
Alternatively, as you plan to make about 2-3 calls a week, you may also want to check on plans under $20.00.
Cheers,
Joanne
