Konec Mobile: Our verdict

Konec Mobile is a relatively new telco operating on Telstra's wholesale network that launched in late 2022. All Konec Mobile plans are prepaid, so there are no contracts or postpaid options.

The 30-day plans are close in price, so compare the data allowances in the table below to find the right fit. The plan with more data offers better value per GB, making it worth the upgrade if you'll use the extra data.

Konec also offers a 180-day long expiry plans with 200GB for $169, or about $28 per 30 days. It's a good option if you want to avoid monthly recharges, but the allowance works out to roughly 33GB a month, so you'll need to manage your usage over the six months.

Konec Mobile's 30-day 5G plans let you bank up to 1000GB of unused data, while the 180-day plan has a 500GB limit. This is in line with many other telcos offering 1000GB of data banking, although some providers offer unlimited data banking.

Overall, Konec Mobile's plans provide good value for money, especially if you like having access to Telstra's network or want to bundle with a cheap Oppo phone.

Pros

  • 30-day expiry (instead of the standard 28) on month-to-month plans
  • Ability to bundle plans with discounted Oppo phones
  • Unlimited international calls and SMS to 15 countries on 30-day plans
  • Get connected instantly via eSIM with compatible phones

Cons

  • Data banking on the 180-day plan is capped at 500GB
  • Phone bundling is limited to the 180-day plan

Finder Score for mobile plans

We've scored over 290+ mobile plans on everything from cost to data allowance and important features.

Our experts give each plan a score out of 10 - totally fair, with no commercial strings attached.

Read the full methodology

Mobile coverage and speeds

Konec Mobile uses Telstra’s wholesale network, which has less coverage than Telstra’s full network.

With that said, it still covers all major cities, most outer-metro areas and larger regional centres, so you can expect a reliable service in most populated areas.

Konec Mobile’s 5G plans are capped at 150Mbps on both 4G and 5G. This is slower than what some telcos offer, but for most users those speeds won’t be an issue.

150Mbps is more than fast enough for all phone activities, including streaming.

What features and perks does Konec Mobile offer?

Konec Mobile sets itself apart by offering bundling discounts for Oppo phones and SIM plans for wearables. These options are pretty rare for smaller telcos. Here's a rundown of what you get:

Bundle with Oppo and save

If you need a new phone to go with your plan, Konec Mobile sells a small selection of discounted Oppo smartphones.

Unfortunately, you can only bundle a phone with Konec Mobile’s 180-day long expiry plan. This means you’re stuck with the telco for a minimum of 6 months.

Nevertheless, it remains a good option for a kid's first phone plan (provided their heart isn't set on an iPhone.)

Data sharing

Konec Mobile customers can gift and receive up to 50% of their plan data. The minimum gift amount is 1GB.

If you are managing multiple kids' phone plans, this is a great option to have in your back pocket. Unfortunately, banked data cannot be shared though.

Unlimited standard international calls and SMS

All of Konec Mobile’s 30-day plans include unlimited standard international calls and SMS to the following 15 locations: Bangladesh, Canada, China, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, the UK and the USA.

This is a solid perk. Some budget telcos cap international calls to a set number of minutes, or don't provide any at all on entry-level plans.

You can also purchase 120 minutes of talk time to 42 additional destinations for $5.

Data banking

Konec Mobile’s 30-day 5G plans can bank up to 1000GB of unused data, while the 180-day plan is capped at 500GB. (Once your unused data reaches the cap, it stays fixed at that amount.)

On the plus side, you do not need to enable auto-recharge to bank your data which is a requirement from some telcos. You also have up to 48 hours to recharge your plan after it expires with no penalties to your data bank.

Wearables SIM plan

In addition to traditional prepaid plans, Konec Mobile also offers a range of Wearables SIM plans which are designed specifically for smartwatches and wearable devices.

You can choose between a 180-day and 365-day plan, with prices starting at $60 for 12GB. Unlimited standard calls and text within Australia are also included.

Both plans are 4G only, with download speeds are capped at 100Mbps. Data banking is not included on these plans.

Refer a friend discount

Konec Mobile will provide a $10 reward voucher for every customer you refer who signs up. (The new customer also gets $10 off via your referral link.)

The $10 voucher is deducted from your next recharge which you can manage through the Konec Mobile app. The maximum number of vouchers you can apply per billing cycle depends on the plan, ranging from 1 to 6. (For example, you can only apply for $10 off per recharge on the entry-level plan.)

Other noteworthy features include support for eSIMs for eligible phones, free shipping of physical SIM cards, VoLTE/Wi-Fi calling and access to the Konec Mobile app which includes data tracking and inbuilt customer support.

How good is Konec Mobile's customer service?

Konec Mobile does not feature in the most recent complaints data from the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) or the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman (TIO).

Its customer service is based in the Philippines. We made several test calls and were always connected to a human within a few seconds.

You can reach Konec Mobile in the following ways:

  • Call 1300 456 632 on weekdays between 10am and 7pm AEST.
  • Send an email to help@konec.com.au
  • Open a support request on the Konec Mobile app
