AGL mobile review: Our verdict

AGL's mobile plans make it a convenient way to bundle some of your utilities together.

In fact, if you're already with AGL energy, you'll get up to $10 a month off your mobile plan fees. This is a nice bonus for existing customers, but it might not always be a big enough saving if other providers are offering even cheaper prices.

AGL mobile plans could be right for you:

  • If you like having support at your fingertips. AGL comes with plenty of options including live chat on its website and a comprehensive mobile app with plenty of plan management options available.
  • If you're already an AGL customer and are looking for a mobile plan. Having the same provider for your energy and mobile bill could be convenient for you.

But keep in mind that AGL:

  • 5G download speeds are capped at 150Mbps.

Value for money

AGL's plans offer decent value for money though they're even more appealing during promotional periods.

The good news is you now also get 5G access on these plans. This will make a difference to people that have a 5G compatible phone and live in an area covered by 5G.

Apart from its small plan, the rest stack up well against our $1 per GB benchmark.

coverage icon

Coverage

AGL uses Optus's 4G and 5G networks.

  • It covers 98.5% of the population, which is better than Vodafone, but less than Telstra's 99.7% coverage.
  • You're getting identical 4G coverage to a plan bought directly from Optus.
  • Customers in metro areas shouldn't have any issues but you might experience some loss of coverage in rural and regional areas.

customer service icon

Customer service

AGL has a lot of ways for you to get in touch with a problem or question, 7 days a week. You can:

  • Ring up the support team between 8am and 8pm AEST.
  • Talk to a customer support agent using the live chat on its website or AGL app during the same hours.
  • Leave a message via live chat outside of contact hours or using the "Message" button on your My Account page.
  • Drop a query on AGL's social media pages via Twitter or Facebook between 8am and 4pm AEST, Monday to Friday.

bonus icon

Bonus features

AGL has a couple of bonus features included on its plans:

⚡ Energy bundling discount

If you're a current AGL energy customer, you'll get $10 a month knocked off the price of any AGL mobile plan (and even steeper discounts during special promotional periods).

This is mostly useful if you're with AGL already and are looking to get a new mobile plan with a cheeky saving.

📞 International calls

All AGL mobile plans include $50 of international call credit. While this may not cover frequent overseas calls, it can be a handy backup.

🌏 International roaming

Heading overseas? AGL offers a $5 Daily Travel Pass for Zone 1 locations. It includes 5GB of data and unlimited calls and texts to local numbers.

The pass renews automatically every 24 hours or whenever your daily data limit is exceeded.
Zone 1 destinations include: Canada, China, Indonesia, UK and USA.e.

Pay As You Go (PAYG) rates apply when travelling to Zone 2 destinations. Be sure to review these rates beforehand to avoid unexpected charges. You can check these out directly on AGL's website.

Ready to sign up to AGL?

Once you've decided which AGL plan you're after, you can easily sign up online. SIM delivery is free via standard postage, but can take up to 10 business days to arrive at your door.

phone icon

What if I want to keep my current phone number?

When you're activating your new AGL SIM, you'll be given the option of transferring your current phone number. AGL advises that the transfer process could take up to 2 business days, but is usually done within an hour.

If your current number is under someone else's name (a parent or a partner), it may involve a couple of extra steps. Check our guide on how to transfer ownership of your mobile number.
