If you're looking to save money on your mobile bill, a prepaid plan is often the way to go. By paying upfront, you don't have to worry about excess charges or cancellation fees should you decide to switch to a new plan. And with plenty of telcos competing for your dollar, there's no shortage of cheap prepaid plans worth considering.
To help you find the right prepaid plan for your budget, we've split them into the three categories below:
Boost Mobile's 20GB plan has a whole lot going for it. Along with full Telstra network coverage, it includes a hefty 20GB of data plus unlimited international calls to 20 countries. Any unused data automatically rolls over to the next month, too, giving you an extra buffer should you need it.
If you're looking to spend the bare minimum on a basic, no-frills phone service, you have quite a few options available to you. You can compare prepaid plans under $10 in the table below, or click "What to consider" for our tips on how to choose the best ultra-budget prepaid plan.
There's a lot of competition in the sub-$30 prepaid space, as you can see in the table below. More options means more factors to consider, of course, so click "What to consider" for our advice on how to find the right plan for you.
Thanks to increasing demand and copious promotions, it's now possible to score more than 20GB of prepaid data at quite a reasonable monthly rate. We've collected the cheapest of those plans in the table below. If you need some guidance on comparing your options, click "What to consider" for our tips on selecting a suitable 20GB+ prepaid plan.
