How does felix's "unlimited" mobile plan work?

felix's plan is similar to other "unlimited" data mobile plans we've seen cropping up recently from Vodafone and Telstra, but with one key difference. felix doesn't have any "full speed" data. Instead, you'll have your download speeds capped at 20Mbps for the entire month. So while there is no limit to how much data you can use each month, there are limits to the speeds you'll get while using your mobile data.

You'll also get unlimited text and calls in Australia with felix, powered by the Vodafone 3G/4G mobile network.

felix mobile review

TPG's latest MVNO, felix, hasn't been in the market for long enough to have developed a reputation, so we can only judge it by its mobile plan. felix's mobile plan really benefits users who have fairly heavy data needs and are on their phone constantly. If you're not a regular mobile user or you're not looking for an "unlimited" cap, you could still be better off paying for a mobile plan with 5-10GB a month that will also cost you less than $35 a month.

That being said, felix's 20Mbps speed cap is a pretty decent speed. You should be able to easily watch HD videos, back-up your phone to the Cloud, and use social media.

You'll also get the added bonus of supporting an eco-friendly mobile provider who plants one tree each month that you're signed up.

Here's what you'll get with felix's mobile plan:

Beyond these main features, felix has a few other ones that are worth mentioning:

• International call pack. An extra $5 per month will give you unlimited calls and texts to 40+ international countries.
• International roaming. For $20, you can get 4GB of data (max 20Mbps download speed), 100 minutes of standard roaming minutes and 100 SMS in 37 countries. Inclusions expire after 365 days.
• Plan pause. felix's "pause" feature lets you cancel your plan, but keep your number for a limited time. When you hit pause, you'll get calls and data for the rest of your billing period, but won't be auto-charged for the next month. You can only hold your number on "pause" for 242 days.
• Referral bonus. If you refer a friend and they sign up, you'll both get a one-off $5 discount.

How does felix compare?

As you can see, felix is only potentially better value if you use more than 25-40GB of data per month, since you'll get that from TPG or Vodafone for less otherwise. Keep in mind that felix's speeds will be slower than both Vodafone and TPG since they don't put speed caps on their plans, which means 4G speeds on their plans have the potential to hit up to 100Mbps - 5 times as fast as felix.

On the whole, while 20Mbps isn't too shabby, felix doesn't really offer anything enticing compared to other providers in terms of price, unless you're a hardcore streamer and need limitless data, or are looking for an eco-friendly mobile provider.

As you can see, felix is only potentially better value if you use more than 25-40GB of data per month, since you'll get that from TPG or Vodafone for less otherwise. To give you an idea, 40GB is equal to 18 hours of nonstop use at the maximum 20Mbps download speed per month, which you'll only really hit while trying to stream HD videos or downloading large files on your mobile data.

Beyond that, you may find yourself frustrated by felix's slower speeds for syncing data to the cloud and streaming, which you shouldn't with either TPG or Vodafone. On the whole, felix doesn't really offer anything enticing in terms of price and features unless you're a hardcore streamer and need limitless data, or are looking for an eco-friendly mobile provider.

International calls with felix

By default, felix has no international call inclusions, but you can add on unlimited standard calls and texts to 40+ countries for $5 per month.

If you want roaming, $20 will get you 4GB of data, 100 standard minutes and 100 SMS with a 365-day expiry period. The data is still limited to 20Mbps.
