Dodo's standout plan offers no data for $5 per month, but includes unlimited calls inside Australia and SMS to anywhere in the world. This makes it an almost unparalleled budget option if you aren't in need of any mobile data.
While its other plans offer decent value, they're fairly average when compared to the competition and lack any meaningful bonus features.
We think Dodo will suit you if:
Just remember that:
If you're looking for some assistance, there are a few ways to get in touch with Dodo:
Dodo also has 19 "Dodo Connect" kiosks along the east coast of Australia for additional help. You can also sign up for a new mobile plan or get directions to the proper support channel at these kiosks.
While Dodo does have a few add-ons available, they're nothing much to write home about.
You can add 3GB of data to any Dodo plan for $10 per month. This isn't very good by itself, but it's intended to convert the $5 zero-data plan into $15 for 3GB.
While this is fine, it's certainly nothing special for an entry-level plan, especially as you still can't send MMS without another add-on.
All but the $5 no-data plan from Dodo come with a handful of international call minutes to 35 countries and all include unlimited international SMS.
For $5 extra per month, you can add on another 100 international call minutes to the same 35 countries. This is potentially useful if you want to stay in touch with a friend or family in other countries.
Dodo's $5 plan is one of the cheapest plans on the entire market, but there are other providers with excellent budget options available, too.
For a little more data:
If you like the $5 plan but want a smidge of data, too, Moose Mobile has a 1GB for $8.80 plan on the Optus network. It also has other great value bigger data plans.
For more budget options:
Another provider in the "cheap mobile plan" circle, amaysim has a 2GB for $10 plan. If you're after more data, amaysim has bigger plans too.
For better coverage:
Boost is the only smaller provider that uses the full Telstra 4G network that reaches 99.5% of Australians.

What if I want to keep my current phone number?
You can choose to keep your current phone number during the sign-up process with Dodo. Simply select the option and Dodo will handle the rest, usually within 24 hours.
If your current number is under someone else's name (a parent or partner), it might be a trickier. Check our guide on how to transfer ownership of your mobile number.

About the iPhone 6s how much do I have to pay monthly if I want two.
Hi Fatme,
Thanks for your inquiry.
Just to confirm, which iPhone 6s plan you’re referring to?
Most telco companies’ price policy is applied for every mobile phone plan you get. So if you will take advantage of two iPhone 6s plans at the same rate, then your monthly bill will be doubled. It would also be best to get in touch with your service provider directly if the price would change (discounted or doubled) if you take two plans.
Cheers,
May
