Belong Mobile was a big winner in the 2025 Finder Awards.
Full list of 2025 mobile plan winnersBelong's mobile plans represent solid value, offering big data at affordable prices.
Belong also has some other features you might enjoy:
While Belong has several perks, it suffers when it comes to:
"Belong data rolls over each month. This means that after a few months of banked up data, I was able to drop down from the 40gb plan to 25gb per month. I then have those extra gb as a buffer if I were to go over my limit, rather than paying the $10 fee to top up. Also, if you are on a bigger plan, regularly check your data usage to see if you are actually using as much as you are paying for. I didn't realise the amount of time I spent connected to the WIFI and wasn't actually using the data I had paid for."
It may not have the cheapest offers around but you do get access to features such as no excess charges and unlimited data banking.
Just keep in mind:
Belong uses parts of the Telstra 4G and 5G network.
Belong Mobile will also give you access to to Telstra's 5G network across its all its plans at no extra cost. The download speeds for its lower data plans are capped at 150Mbps and 250Mbps on higher data plans.
