Dodo provides a whole bunch of different services, from Internet to energy to mobile plans. It only has a handful of SIM-only mobile plans in low to medium data ranges, but it's set apart by its unique $5 no-data plan for people just looking for calls.
Highlights
Dodo has a small range of SIM only plans for customers who already have a phone. If you're only after calls, and data doesn't matter, check out its great value $5 per month plan.
Dodo mobile has three different plans that run month to month. Here's what they include:
For the two plans with included data, any extra data past your cap will cost you $5 per 1GB.
Dodo may only have a handful of plans, but the only one that stands out is its unique no data, all talk, $5 per month plan. No other provider has a monthly plan so cheap, making it the perfect option for staying in touch with as many calls and texts as you like – so long as you don't need any data at all.
A strange downside to Dodo's plans is that it doesn't allow you to send MMS by default, even with mobile data. You have to pay an extra $5 for this feature, which is standard on the majority of mobile plans.
Dodo's plans are relatively simple, with no flashy extras involved. Dodo's main feature is:

Dodo mobile's main stand-out feature is its $5, zero-data mobile plan. This could be excellent value for someone who doesn't need the Internet for browsing and is only interested in making calls and sending texts.
The plans that come with data are fairly good value, but if you want anything more than 36GB per month you'll have to go with another provider, like Optus or Circles.Life.
Want to know how Dodo does when compared to other mobile providers? We've stacked up its 36GB plan with other popular SIM-only providers, Optus and Moose Mobile.
Dodo | Optus | Moose Mobile | |
---|---|---|---|
Plan name | 36GB SIM only | Small Optus Choice | 35GB SIM only |
Plan cost | $30 | $39 | $28.80 |
Data allowance | 36GB | 10GB | 35GB |
Data per dollar spent | $0.83 per 1GB | $3.90 per 1GB | $0.82 per 1GB |
Features | International minutes | Data sharing, 5G access | None |
Dodo's mobile plan comes out comparable to what Moose Mobile has to offer, providing similar data for a slightly higher price. Neither of them has much in the way of extra features, so there's really nothing to recommend one over the other, especially as they're on the same network.
Dodo does beat out Optus for value on its smallest plan, but this is Dodo's largest data plan. If you want anything more than 36GB per month, you're going to have to go with someone else.
By default, Dodo has international roaming disabled. You can contact Dodo support to have roaming activated, but you'll only get access to pay-as-you-go rates.
You'll likely be much better off investing in a local or travel SIM so you don't end up spending a fortune in roaming charges.
Two of Dodo's plans come with international minutes that can be used to call 35 countries. If you need more, you can spend $5 for an additional 100 international minutes to call the same 35 countries.

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
