ALDI Mobile's 30-day no-frills plans are affordable and cost no more than $59 a month.
Its services operate on the Telstra 4G and 5G mobile network which is definitely a plus if you're looking for decent coverage at a low cost.
Here are some reasons why ALDI Mobile might be right for you:
But keep in mind that:
Based on scores in Finder's 2024 Customer Satisfaction Awards.
You get decent data allowances for how much you're paying each month.
In fact, the higher the data limit the more value for money when stacked up against our $1 per GB benchmark.
There are 3 plans to choose from and all offer 5G access.
The smallest can be shared with up to 2 services, the middle one with 4 services and the largest one with 6 services.
These are slightly better value than buying 2–6 equivalent prepaid plans but they're only worth it if everyone on the account ends up taking advantage of the data allowance.
This is a good long-term option if you barely need data and only make the occasional call or text.
You start with a SIM card and a $5 credit.
After that, you can recharge and stock up on $15, $25 or $35 worth of credit that lasts a year.
You won't be charged for receiving calls or texts on this plan, only for sending them.
If coverage matters to you, ALDI Mobile is one of the better choices.
ALDI Mobile offers access to Telstra's 5G network on all family plans and most 30-day plans.
If you need help, you can get in touch with ALDI Mobile 7 days a week using the following options:
ALDI Mobile only has a couple of extra features on its plans, but they can be pretty handy.
Any data you don't use rolls over to future recharges, just as long as you recharge before your plan's expiry date. This will offer some peace of mind to anyone who might use a different amount of data month to month.
This feature lets you make unlimited international calls and texts to 20 selected countries on all of ALDI's SIM only plans except for the entry-level $19 plan.
It's useful if you have friends or family overseas that you'd like to stay in touch with.

What if I want to keep my current phone number?
This is not a problem. When you activate your ALDI Mobile SIM, you can register to port your existing mobile number to your new ALDI service within a couple of days.
If your current number is under someone else's name (a parent or partner), it might be trickier. Check our guide on how to transfer ownership of your mobile number.
