More Telecom's SIM-only plans explained

How does More Telecom compare?

• Numerous data caps to choose from
• Improved rural coverage via Telstra mobile network
• Steeper prices than a lot of the competition

Like most mobile providers that leverage Telstra's 4G network, More Telecom prices its plans at a premium compared to those that use Optus's or Vodafone's networks. Whether the higher speeds and broader coverage of Telstra's network is worth that premium depends largely on where you live and what you use your mobile service for.

• Budget SIM-only plan comparison

  At the budget end of the mobile space, More Telecom fails to offer the raw value for money that many of its competitors do. Providers like Yomojo, Moose Mobile and amaysim offer more data for your dollar at this price point, albeit with the caveat that they use Optus' 4G network instead of Telstra's. Even if you're specifically in the market for a Telstra-powered plan, though, you can find better value from the likes of Belong or TeleChoice.

• Mid-range SIM-only plan comparison

  More Telecom doesn't stack up any more favourably with its medium-sized mobile plans. Once again, plans from providers like Moose, Spintel and Exetel will get you far more data at a lower price on Optus's network, plus many plans bundle in international credit at no extra cost. If using Optus's network just isn't an option, Belong and TeleChoice continue to offer better deals than More Telecom.

• Large SIM-only plan comparison

  The gap between More Telecom and the frontrunners of the SIM-only space only increases at the higher tiers of mobile data caps. For the same price as More Telecom charges for its 15GB plan, you could get 30GB or more from Moose Mobile, Jeenee Mobile or amaysim. Even against other providers operating on Telstra's network, More Telecom can't keep up: Belong and TeleChoice outperform it handily, as do KISSMobile and Pennytel.

Why should you consider More Telecom?

More Telecom is a tough one to recommend. Unless you absolutely require a plan on Telstra's 4G network, there are numerous alternatives out there that offer more call and data inclusions at a much cheaper price.

Presuming Telstra coverage is non-negotiable, More Telecom's plans are relatively competitive, though you can find better deals from other providers if you shop around. Still, More Telecom is at least worth considering, if only as a baseline to compare the competition against.
