iPrimus mobile review

You may know iPrimus better as a broadband or television provider, but it also has a handful of mobile plans with decent value. They're extremely simple, with only a couple of features:

lock

No-contract plans

All of iPrimus's mobile plans are month to month with no contract, so you can switch or cancel them at any time. This makes them very flexible.

So is iPrimus mobile worth it? We ask our utilities expert, Sam Baran

Photo of Sam BaranIf you're looking for a decent chunk of data and don't care about extra features, iPrimus offers good value on its three plans. It's basic, but compares well to the other providers.

If you don't need quite that much data each month, consider a provider like Moose or Vaya.

How does iPrimus compare?

To see how iPrimus stacks up against the competition, we've placed its $40 Small plan against similar ones from Optus (its network provider) and Vaya (another provider on the Optus network).

iPrimus compares extremely well to the competition, offering way more value than Optus and a similar amount to Vaya. None of these three have any standout features accompanying their plans, so iPrimus comes out as a competitive choice.

iPrimus international calls

All of iPrimus's plans come with between 300 and 1,000 international talk minutes, allowing you to make calls to 35 countries. You also get unlimited SMS and MMS to the same 35 countries on all plans.
