Better Life Mobile has a solid set of plans that offer fairly good value for their price.
Its mid-range and larger plans work out cheaper per GB than its entry-level plan, so they're the better value if you use a fair bit of data.
Better Life also stands apart from other mobile providers in terms of social engagement, with initiatives such as providing prepaid phones to people in need.
Better Life could be right for you if:
But Better Life does lack in some areas, including:
Better Life's entry-level plan provides fairly average value at $30 for 15GB, which works out to a higher cost per GB than its larger plans.
Those bigger plans give you more data for each dollar you spend, so compare the price and data of each plan in the table above.
Better Life uses the Telstra Wholesale Mobile Network (4G and 5G) to provide coverage. Check the table above to see which plans include 5G.

Better Life's mobile plans have a few extra features for customers.
If the base inclusions aren't enough for you, there are add-ons you can buy:
Keep in mind that extra data add-ons are used last, after your included plan data, banked data and gifted data.
You can bank your unused data between months instead of losing it.
Watch out though, as you'll lose all your banked data if you downgrade your plan to something cheaper.
You can gift data from your plan (but not banked data) to other Better Life Mobile users.
Any active Better Life service can receive gifted data, and most plans can gift it. Check your plan's Critical Information Summary to confirm whether yours can.
If a friend signs up to Better Life with your referral, you'll get 1 month free on your mobile plan.
Once you've decided which Better Life plan you're after, you can easily sign up online, in just a few minutes. Better Life usually posts your SIM within 24 hours of receiving your order and payment, and Australia Post normally delivers it within 1 to 5 business days.
What if I want to keep my current phone number?
You can choose to keep your current number when you activate your SIM. However, you'll have to call Better Life to activate. It advises that the transfer process should take less than an hour in most cases.
If your current mobile number isn't registered under your name, it might take a few more steps. Read our guide on how to change ownership of your mobile number here.
