Full list of 2024 winnersCatch connect received the highly commended award for 'Long Expiry Prepaid Mobile Plan' in the 2024 Product Awards.
Full list of 2024 winnersFollowing the cheap everything model of its parent company Catch.com.au, Catch's set of mobile plans delivers on value for those who just want a basic plan.
It has some of the best-value 30-day prepaid plans on the market and equally great value across its longer expiry plans too.
Catch could be the right choice for you if you:
 
That said, there are a few things to consider before signing up to Catch:
Catch Connect's monthly plans offer great value for money compared to similar options from other providers in Finder's database.
Its 30GB plan for $25 a month stacks up well against our benchmark of $1 per GB of data.
Catch Connect has 1 plan with a 90-day expiry period and 3 that last for a year. They're great value with and without discounts.
The 90-day expiry plan offers 20GB for $40 over 90 days, which is good if you don't want to deal with the frequency of monthly recharges.
However, if you need more data and use 16GB or less each month, Catch's 365-day plans will be worth it for you.
Spreading the cost over a year, its long expiry plans will cost less than most equivalent monthly plans.
If you're having problems with your Catch Connect service or would like a question answered, you can reach out in the following ways:
While Catch Connect is undeniably cheap, you might want to consider one of these other mobile providers if you're looking for a little bit more on your plan:
