iPrimus mobile review: Our verdict

iPrimus has a small set of simple plans which are fabulous value if you're after 100GB or more each month.

It is, however, light on plan features so if you're looking for anything like data rollover or access to rewards programs, you could be better off elsewhere.

iPrimus mobile plans could fit you if:

  • You've got higher mobile data needs. iPrimus's smallest plan comes with 30GB a month, going all the way up to 150GB.
  • You're an existing iPrimus broadband customer. You'll get $5 off your Internet bill for each mobile plan you buy with iPrimus.
  • You make a few overseas calls. iPrimus plans come with up to $500 international call credit to Zone 1 and 2 countries.

But keep in mind that iPrimus:

  • Charges a $2.95 fee if you don't pay by direct debit.

money icon

Value for money

If you're into higher data mobile plans, iPrimus will make you happy.

Its plans average $0.61 per 1GB of data, which is great compared to a benchmark of $1 per 1GB.

Things to watch out for:

  • If you choose a payment method other than direct debit, you'll be charged an extra $2.95 for every bill.

coverage icon

Coverage

iPrimus uses the Optus 4G/5G network.
  • This comes with coverage for 98.5% of the population, which is better than Vodafone (98.4%), but not quite as wide as Telstra's 99.7% coverage.
  • You'll get identical 4G coverage to a mobile plan bought directly from Optus.
  • You shouldn't have any problems in metro areas but you might experience a loss of coverage in rural and regional areas.

  • Ring up the support line 9am-6pm AEST Monday to Friday
  • Start a live chat on the iPrimus website

Bonus features

iPrimus has a couple of bonus features included in its plans:

🌏 International calls inclusions

All of iPrimus' plans come with $100-$500 credit for international calls, letting you ring selected countries. You also get unlimited international texts.

This can be handy if you have friends or family overseas that you like to contact once in a while.

💰 Bundling discount

If you have an active iPrimus broadband account, you'll get $5 off your monthly.

🌐 No excess charges

If you hit your monthly data limit, iPrimus will slow your internet down to 256Kbps until your next billing cycle.

The speed is enough for extremely light activities like checking emails or sending a quick message on WhatsApp.
