How do you switch mobile plans?

1

Compare mobile plans

Whether you're looking at a SIM only or phone repayment plan, find something that suits your needs and saves you some dosh.

2

Sign up online

When you sign up you can choose to keep your mobile number. You don't have to cancel your old plan, it'll all be done for you.

3

Activate your new service

If you're going with an eSIM your plan should be available right away. If not you'll need to wait for your physical SIM to be delivered. Activate your sim and you'll be good to go. You're old provider will be in touch if you have outstanding bills.

What types of mobile plans can you get in Australia?

In Australia, there are 3 main types of mobile phone plans - prepaid, postpaid and mobile phones on a plan. It's worth mentioning that the first 2 are kind of blurring together these days.

Prepaid plans

Prepaid mobile plans come with a recharge or renewal period that usually reset every 28 or 30 days. Traditionally you'll purchase a SIM card and pay at the start of each month to continue your plan.

Prepaid pros
  • Budget-friendly. You'll never pay extra on top of your monthly amount.
  • Flexible. Prepaid plans come with no lock-in contract, making it easy to switch whenever you want.
Prepaid cons
  • Active recharging. These days most people will turn auto-recharge on, but if you don't then you'll need to remember to renew it every month.

Postpaid plans

Postpaid plans continue indefinitely. You typically pay for them at the end of the month, but some providers will now charge you at the start.

Postpaid pros
  • Set and forget. Just pay your monthly bill. Easy.
  • Higher data caps. Need a lot of data? Postpaid plans typically offer more bang for your buck.
Postpaid cons
  • Excess usage fees may apply. If you go over your plan's data or call cap, you could get charged extra.
  • Contracts still exist. Most providers have a no-lock-in contract option, but some postpaid plans still come with 6 or 12 month contracts.

Mobile phones on a plan

You can also grab a new phone on a mobile plan. Your monthly bill will be the price of your phone repayment plus the plan fees on top. Pay off the phone in monthly instalments over 12, 24 or 36 months.

Phones on a plan pros
  • You get a new phone! Splitting your phone into monthly repayments lets you can own the latest iPhone or Samsung without paying upfront.
  • Special telco-only discounts. Telcos often throw in discounts or free gifts you won't get elsewhere, especially for pre-orders.
Phones on a plan cons
  • Long repayment periods. Staying with one provider for 2 or 3 years could leave you missing out on better deals.
  • More expensive overall. If you have the cash, buying a phone outright is still cheaper.

Australians spent $2.2 billion in loyalty tax on mobile plans in 2023

If you're on a plan with one of Australia's major telcos - Telstra, Optus or Vodafone - you could be paying a loyalty tax. There may be cheaper plans offering similar data allowances with a smaller provider. Find out how much more you're paying on your utilities bill and the potential savings you could make by comparing.

How do you compare mobile plans?

To find the right mobile plan, consider these 4 factors when you're comparing:

Data

Data

The average Aussie uses just 12.8GB a month, according to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC). We recommend checking your data usage with your provider or on your phone and go from there. If you're using upwards of 40GB a month, look into unlimited data mobile plans which could be better suited to you.

Mobile network

Network

The network you get your mobile phone plan on will determine your level of coverage. Make sure you check especially if you live outside of metropolitan areas as some mobile networks may not service your area.

Mobile inclusions

Inclusions

Mobile plan inclusions vary across the board but some handy features to look out for are data rollover and data sharing, Wi-Fi calling and international calls. On the other hand, if you're just looking for a simple mobile plan with calls, texts and data, you could skip on the extras and just get a good value plan.

Mobile contract

Plan length

While most plans are paid month-to-month, contracts and longer expiry periods may not be a bad option if you're okay to stick around for the long run. Long-expiry plans that last up to 365 days mean you pay upfront for a year's worth of usage and can usually save on your mobile plan over the course of the year.

How much data do I need?

How much data you will need is going to depend on how you use it.

Activities like browsing and social media don't use that much data so you should be able to get through the month with a smaller amount. On the other hand, multimedia streaming and downloads use a fair bit.

Here are some examples of the activities you can perform on these data allowances:

DataActivities
5GBBasic browsing, social media
10GBBasic browsing, social media, music streaming, some video streaming
20GBBasic browsing, social media, multimedia streaming and mobile games
40GBBasic browsing, social media, multimedia streaming, downloads and mobile games

Calculate an estimate of your mobile data usage to get a better idea of how much you need.

If that's not enough data then consider an unlimited data mobile plan (and avoid excess data charges).

Which mobile network is right for you?

Australia is home to just 3 mobile networks: Telstra, Optus and Vodafone. The main point of difference between them is coverage and price.

telstra logo

Telstra

Telstra is host to Australia's largest mobile network.

  • Its 4G network reaches 99.5% of the population
  • Has the most extensive 5G coverage in Australia (87%) and is still expanding.
  • Wide coverage means Telstra's plans are a good option for those living in regional areas
  • No lock-in contracts on all prepaid and postpaid plans
  • Tends to be the most expensive mobile provider

Some of the providers that use the Telstra network include:


optus logo

Optus

Optus comes next but it's no second fiddle.

  • Its 4G network reaches 98.8% of the population
  • Its prepaid and postpaid plans are a little cheaper than Telstra
  • Optus is continuing to expand its 5G network, which now reaches 80.5% of the population.
  • It covers a little less of Australia than Telstra – this difference in coverage is mostly felt in regional areas

Some of the providers that use the Optus network include:


Vodafone logo

Vodafone

Vodafone has the smallest network but is also the most affordable.

  • 4G covers 96% of the population
  • Vodafone's 5G rollout is still underway - it's now available in 3,000 suburbs across major cities in Australia
  • Vodafone has the cheapest plans
  • Not the best network for those living outside of metropolitan areas

Some of the providers that use the Vodafone network include:

Tim Bennett's headshot

"I've been a very regular mobile phone plan switcher - it's so easy to keep your number and try out different providers, I figure there's nothing to lose. I do really like having a plan on the Telstra network with great coverage and speed, but these days I'm spending most of my life in the city, so it's overkill. I'm currently with Felix on the Vodafone network and it suits me fine. I have their unlimited data prepaid plan on auto-recharge, so I don't need to think about it at all."

Looking for a phone with your plan?

Although buying a phone outright works out cheaper in the long run, it's not easy to pay a hefty amount upfront.

Telstra, Optus and Vodafone allow you to pair your mobile plan with a new handset. You then pay the cost of the phone monthly over a 12-, 24- or 36-month repayment period.
