Our verdict: Much like its grocery shopping experience, ALDI Mobile offers simple and budget-friendly mobile plans with additional perks such as unlimited data rollover.
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:
Unlimited data rollover means your unused data won't go to waste and you're far less likely to hit your monthly data cap and be cut off from the internet.
You can choose to pick up an ALDI Mobile SIM card at any ALDI store at your convenience or purchase it online.
Easy-to-use app lets you manage your plan on the go.
Family plans are available to pool your data on one account with multiple SIMs.
Unlimited international calls and texts to 20 select countries on certain plans.
But keep in mind that:
Those living in some rural and regional areas may struggle with Telstra's wholesale coverage.
ALDI Mobile's pay-as-you-go roaming rates are expensive. You will be better off with a local SIM.
ALDI Mobile's plan prices start at $23 for 12GB and go up to $59 for 175GB.
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.
ALDI Mobile's 30-day expiry family plans give you a hefty wad of data to share between multiple people.
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.
ALDI Mobile also sells a PAYG plan that lasts for 365 days.
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.
Things to watch out for
PAYG can be a great long-expiry option, but data costs add up quickly. If you're going to use a lot of data, you will be better off getting a proper SIM only plan.
The family plan has no data controls. Anyone with a shared SIM can burn through the total data allowance, leaving nothing for anyone else.
Coverage
If coverage matters to you, ALDI Mobile is one of the better choices.
You get access to Telstra's wholesale mobile network, which reaches 98.8% of the population.
This slight difference between Telstra's wholesale and full network will mostly be felt in regional and rural areas.
Does ALDI Mobile have 5G?
ALDI Mobile offers access to Telstra's 5G network on all family plans and most 30-day plans.
Customer service
If you need help, you can get in touch with ALDI Mobile 7 days a week using the following options:
Ring the call centre between 8am and 9pm AEDT, Monday to Sunday.
Lodge a support ticket via your online account portal if you have a problem.
Keep in mind: Even though you can pick up a SIM card at an ALDI store, you probably won't get face-to-face mobile support from anyone working there.
Bonus features
ALDI Mobile only has a couple of extra features on its plans, but they can be pretty handy.
🔄 Unlimited data rollover
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.
🌏 International inclusions
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.

Most postpaid plans these days don’t tie you down - you can just go month-to-month and switch whenever you find a better deal.
Important information about this website
Finder is a comparison service. We do not compare every product or every provider in the market.
We make money through commercial arrangements with some of the providers on this site. Products marked 'Sponsored', 'Promoted', 'Featured' or 'Advertisement' appear as a result of a commercial arrangement.
Our editorial content, product reviews and any 'Top Pick' designations are prepared independently of these commercial arrangements.
The default order of products in our tables can be influenced by commercial arrangements. You can re-sort or filter using the controls above each table.
Some content on this site may be generated or supported by AI tools. You should verify details directly with the provider.
Finder is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stand by our editorial principles.
Our comparison service does not include every product or every provider in the market. Some product issuers offer their products under multiple brands or through associated companies. Where we can, we identify the underlying issuer so you can compare like with like, but you should always check with the provider directly to confirm which brand you are dealing with.
Finder is a comparison website and an intermediary. We are not a product issuer and we do not provide personal financial or credit advice. When you click a link to a product, or apply for a product through our site, you deal directly with the product issuer. We may receive a referral fee, commission or other payment from the issuer if you click through, apply or take out a product. We describe these arrangements in more detail under 'How we make money' below.
Product features, fees, terms and eligibility criteria are set by the product issuer and may change. We rely on information supplied by issuers when we present product details on our site. Before you apply for or take out any product, you should confirm the details directly with the issuer.
We earn revenue from Finder in four principal ways:
Referral fees and commissions. When you click a product link, complete an enquiry form or apply for a product through our site, we may receive a referral fee, commission or other payment from the product issuer. We may also receive payment based on the volume of leads or conversions we send to an issuer.
Sponsored placements. Products marked 'Sponsored', 'Promoted', 'Featured' or 'Advertisement' appear as a result of a commercial arrangement between Finder and the issuer. These labels always indicate a paid placement. We do not use them for editorial choices.
Display advertising. Banner advertising, newsletter advertising and similar display ads on our site are paid by advertisers.
Content sponsorship. Some articles, videos and social media posts are sponsored by an issuer and are clearly labelled as such.
Our editorial opinions, product reviews and any 'Top Pick' designations are prepared independently of these commercial arrangements. A 'Top Pick' is an editorial choice made by our writers and editors based on the criteria described on each comparison page. A 'Top Pick' is not a personal recommendation and does not mean the product is appropriate for your circumstances.
If you would like to know whether we have a commercial arrangement with a specific product issuer, please contact us.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the default order can be influenced by commercial arrangements we have with product issuers. In some categories, sponsored or featured products appear in the top positions of the table by default, and are always labelled as such.
Other factors that influence default order include price, fees and features, and (where relevant) our editorial view of the product.
You can re-sort every comparison table using the controls above the table. You can filter by product features that matter to you. The order you see after re-sorting or filtering is not influenced by commercial arrangements.
