Belong Mobile

Belong offers mobile plans built for data lovers.

Is Belong right for me?

  • Product highlights: Unlimited international calls on the Large plan, unlimited data banking across all plans.
  • Watch out for: From a pure dollars to data perspective, Belong's plans trail some way behind the competition. Be sure to compare your options to make sure you're getting the best deal possible.

Belong SIM-only plans

Belong's SIM-only plans explained

Belong offers three simple SIM-only plans, each of which includes unlimited national calls and SMS. The three plans are as follows:
  • Small data plan, which comes with 1GB of data for $10 a month
  • Regular data plan, which comes with 10GB of data for $25 a month
  • Large data plan, which comes with 40GB of data plus unlimited international talk and text to 33 countries for $40 a month

The Small and Regular plans can also be upgraded with unlimited international talk and text to 33 countries for $5 extra a month.

How does Belong compare?

  • International call inclusions on the Large plan add a lot of value
  • Telstra network coverage is always a plus
  • Data caps on the cheaper plans are considerably lower than the competition

With such a singular focus on data-heavy mobile plans, it's not surprising that Belong is one of the more competitive providers in its particular corner of the market. Compared to other providers like TeleChoice and CMobile that also operate on Telstra's network, Belong offers some of the best value around.

Why should you consider Belong?

Belong's mobile plans are mainly for the always-connected crowd wanting to browse Facebook and stream Spotify while they're on the go. Along with the competitively priced data caps and the benefit of Telstra's high-speed 4G network, both plans also support unlimited data banking and data gifting, allowing you to roll over any unused data from one month to the next or send that unused data in 1GB chunks to other Belong mobile users.

Belong is also one of the only mobile providers that doesn't charge excess usage fees if you go over your monthly data limit. Instead, going over your cap simply slows your Internet speed down to 64kbps for the rest of your billing cycle, ensuring you don't end up with bill shock come the end of the month. Alternatively, you can purchase extra data at half the price most providers charge: a 2GB top-up will set you back just $10.

      Hi Tariq,

      Thanks for your question. Belong uses parts of Telstra’s network, so it does not offer the same coverage as Telstra itself. To see what parts of the network Belong operates on, you can check out the coverage map on the Belong website.

      Regards,

      Matt

    I bought an iphone6 from JB Hifi for a xmas present. I was told by the salesman that the Belong Sim he gave me will work in this Telstra locked phone. It doesn’t.
    It just gives you a “Sim not Valid” error.
    Please help :(

      Hi Michael,

      Thanks for reaching out.

      Generally, a device is locked if you’ve purchased a phone for prepaid use, and especially if you purchased it directly from the carrier. To give you a quick guide in unlocking a Testra mobile, you may go ahead and check this page.

      To give you more options, you may also want to visit this page as this will give you instructions on how you can attempt to network unlock your Iphone.

      Hope this helps,
      Joanne

    I have been gifted two $40 Belong ‘dataful sim’ cards….I live in country SA and used my phone’s ‘WLAN tethering’ connection to get to the outside world. I do not have any ‘landline’ services.

    I am currently on Amaysim where I pay $50 for 14GB data and unlimited talk and text within Australia. Amaysim is good but is on the Optus network which I have found less than reliable in my area (which is only 50 kilometers from Adelaide, in the Barossa Valley).

    Checking out Belong, I see that for $40 I can get 15 GB per month (5 more GB than Amaysim) – and by adding $5 to that I get unlimited calls and SMS within Australia.

    If this is correct (a) I save $5 per month, (b) I get an extra 5GB and (c) I am connected to ‘the world’ via TELSTRA not via Optus…

    If this is correct, it would seem I would be better off swapping to Belong than staying with Amaysim. Comments?

    Can you also confirm that Belong is on the ‘mainstream’ Telstra lines — not something which is regarded as ‘second stream’? In other words, Belong gets the full Telstra streaming/phone access, not some second-rate or down-graded access?

    DO YOU CONCUR with this? Have I missed something?

    Thanks for your response.

    Regards

    RUSS

      Hi Russ,

      Thanks for your enquiry. While Belong’s $40 plan does offer more than you’re currently getting for a cheaper price, amaysim also offers a $40 SIM-only plan with 15GB of data and unlimited national calls and texts. As such, you could switch from your current amaysim plan to the $40 one to save yourself $10 a month while getting an extra 1GB of data to boot. Check out our breakdown of amaysim’s plans for more info.

      If you’re keen on switching to Telstra’s network, however, you’ll want to know that Belong only operates on parts of Telstra’s network – this means, as you pointed out, that it doesn’t get you the full coverage of Telstra’s network. It could still offer better service than your currently getting, though, and you might want to take up the Belong plan for a single month just to see what it is like at your home.

      I hope this helps!

      Regards,

      Matt
