Kogan received the following awards in the 2024 Product Awards:
If you're looking for a simple to use, SIM only plan with high data allowances, then you've come to the right place. Kogan plans offer a lot of value to those who want to sign up for 365 days.
Its smallest 365-day plan works out to about $10 monthly for 7.5GB, which is cheaper than the majority of entry-level plans on the market.
But like most providers, the more you spend on your plan, the better value you will get.
Kogan Mobile will work for you if you're looking for the following:
That being said, consider the following:
Jack K's tip
When you buy a phone on a plan, you are often forced to take on a mobile plan that offers way more data than you need. That is the premium you pay for the privilege of being able to pay off your phone over many months. But once you have paid off your phone, you really should considering switching to a SIM-only where you can get far more bang for your buck. For example, because I have WiFi at home and at work, my mobile data usage only add up to about 100 GB per year, a Kogan 365 day 120GB plan is all I need and that works out to be only $10 a month.— Jack K, Finder crew member
Some of its long expiry plans let you choose between having access to all the data upfront or having a portion of your total data unlocked each month to help you pace yourself.
If you live in a metro area, you should be just fine with reception with a Kogan plan which runs on Vodafone's 4G network.
Kogan Mobile is currently offering a free 5G trial on the Vodafone 5G network on 1 of it's monthly plans. If you are looking to take part in the 5G trial you can do so for $40 a month, which would get you 80GB of data and unlimited calls and texts. After the trial is over, you'll go switch back to the Vodafone 4G network.
If you're in need of assistance, there's only 1 way to reach Kogan Mobile and thats via it's call centre:
While Kogan does offer an app to manage your account, there have been reports of the app interface being difficult to use.
Kogan offers a couple of perks to its mobile plans:
If you have a Qantas frequent flyer account linked to Kogan, you could earn some bonus points with this feature.
You'll get 1 Qantas frequent flyer point for every $2 you spend on your Kogan Mobile bills.
If you're on a Kogan monthly plan, you can roll over any unused data at the end of the month to use in the future.
You can save up to 200GB of data with this feature. When you cancel or change your plan, you'll lose any saved data.
These add-ons can help when you run out of data just a couple of days out from next month's recharge.
You can get 3GB with a 2-day expiry for $5 or 3GB with a 7-day expiry for $10.
You'll be able to stay connected when you travel by purchasing an international roaming pack with Kogan. You can get:
You can also sign up to international call packs which will allow you to chat with friends and family overseas. The packs include:
All 3 of these plans offer consumers 250 minutes of standard international calls for 30 days.
Kogan is a solid choice, especially if you're after a long-term plan. But for those who aren't interested in big data or want to view a few of the alternatives on the market:
Lebara is a strong contender on value for its monthly mobile plans. It comes with decent data and excellent international inclusions.
For better value long-term plans:
If you're considering signing on for 12 months, Moose Mobile has good value monthly mobile plans. There's also more variety in data limits to choose from.
For better coverage:
Is coverage a concern? Boost Mobile uses the full Telstra 4G and 5G network, reaching 99.5% of Australians.
Once you've decided which Kogan plan you're after, you can easily sign up online. According to Kogan's site, SIM delivery is free but can take up to 14 days to arrive, meaning you might need to wait, especially if you're in a rural area.
What if I want to keep my current phone number?
Keeping your current mobile number is easy. Once you have your Kogan SIM card, head to the activation site and let Kogan know you want to transfer your current number, and they'll handle the rest.
This transfer will usually take about 3 hours to happen and you could lose service during that period.
If your current number is under someone else's name (a parent or partner), it might be a little harder. If this is you, check our guide on how to transfer ownership of your mobile number.

Hi Jennifer,
Thanks for leaving a question on finder.
The allotted data will not roll over the next month whether you consumed it or not. It will refresh again on the next billing cycle.
Cheers,
Joel
Why does you site say this…. Kogan Mobile’s plans operate on Vodafone’s 4G networks.
When Kogan site says.. The service provided is a Kogan Mobile 1XL – 30 DAYS Plan giving access to the 2G and 3G parts of the
Vodafone Mobile Network.
Hi Kevin,
Kogan recently upgraded its deal with Vodafone to include access to its 4G networks, which we’ve written about in detail.
If you’ve seen that on Kogan’s site recently, it’s most likely a page they haven’t updated yet.
Regards,
Alex.
