Whether you lean heavily on your home Wi-Fi or just have no need for unlimited calls and 10GB of data, there are a range of low-usage plans to suit your needs.
With the advent of Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger and Skype, call and text inclusions on plans are becoming less of a necessity, as people use apps to handle their day to day communication. Combined with the growing availability of Wi-Fi at home and work, it's becoming easier than ever to get by without large amounts of data. Others simply spend less time than others on their phones and have no need for such excessive data amounts.
While many people using high inclusions as deciding factors for signing up to a mobile plan, there is a large number of mobile users who are paying much more each than they actually need. For those people, we've compiled a list of low-usage plans that will get you by without breaking the bank.
