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 $22 for 10GB, 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.
