ALDImobile's SIM-only plans explained

How does ALDImobile compare?

• One of the top-value options on Telstra's network
• Data rollover gives ALDImobile an edge on the competition

• Value Pack plan comparison

  ALDImobile's Value Pack plans can offer solid value especially if you want access to Telstra's networks (or at least parts of its 3G/4G networks), but there are plenty of other choices. At the XL Value Pack plan pricing of $35 per recharge, here's what you could get from other providers:

Why should you consider ALDImobile?

ALDImobile is one of the highest value providers operating on the Telstra Wholesale network, and that gives it a lot of appeal if you're in an area best served by Telstra's mobile network.

Its PAYG plan could be a very good match for folks who want a phone as a contact point rather than something that they use for outbound calls. If you're paying for a phone service for your kids, for example, you could disable data on their phones and get quite a lot of long-term value out of a single low-value recharge.

ALDImobile also features data roll-over for unused data from one month to the next when you recharge before your current credit expires.

ALDImobile doesn't offer a lot of additional extras beyond the included international calling minutes on every Value Pack plan except the S plan. That covers a quantity of calling minutes to 50 selected countries.

Specifically, you can use your calling minutes to contact mobile and landline numbers in Bangladesh, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Cyprus, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Guam, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Malta, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, Romania, Singapore, South Africa and South Korea.

Additionally, calling minutes can be used to reach landline numbers only in Andorra, Argentina, Bulgaria, French Guiana, Iceland, Luxembourg, Mexico, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Slovakia, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand and Turkey. Calls made to mobile numbers in these destinations will come out of any existing PAYG credit you may have.
