Pros
- Choice of Vodafone 4G or Telstra 4G/5G networks
- No lock-in contract
- Australian-based customer support
Cons
- Vodafone Red plans aren't as good as Telstra Blue plans
Cmobile's plans are unique for offering the choice between joining the Telstra or Vodafone networks, with pretty much every other provider operating on 1 network. The providers "red" plans (with vodafone) will really only suit those who want to use their phone for talk and text, especially its lower cost plans. Meanwhile the "blue" plans (with Telstra) favour those who want 5G or data banking features and offer larger data packs. Generally speaking, you'll get more value of its "blue" plans.
Cmobile has a lot of options when it comes to data. Other benefits include:
But there is a small drawback with Cmobile:
Cmobile's cheaper plans on the Telstra network, $18 for 5GB and $23 for 12GB, are similarly priced to others on the Telstra network.
Since these plans run on the Vodafone 4G network, it means you get less coverage than on a Cmobile Blue plan.
In some cases, Cmobile's Red plans don't provide as much value as it's Blue plans.
Cmobile is unusual in that it has plans on 2 separate 4G networks: Telstra and Vodafone.

What if I want to keep my current phone number?
To keep your number, just let Cmobile know during the SIM activation process. According to Cmobile, the majority of transfers are completed in less than an hour.
If your current number is under someone else's name (a parent or a partner), it might involve a few more steps. Check our guide on how to transfer ownership of your mobile number.
