Is More Telecom right for me?

What does More Telecom offer? SIM-only mobile plans across parts of the Telstra 3G and 4G networks. Unlike More Telecom's business broadband plans, its mobile plans are available to all Aussies, no ABN required.

Product highlights: No-lock-in contracts, data caps span a wide range of needs, Telstra network coverage.

Watch out for: Telstra typically limits other telcos to using only parts of its mobile network. Such is the case with More Telecom. This can lead to poor reception in certain areas of the country, even if the full Telstra network covers those areas.

More Telecom's SIM-only plans explained

More Telecom offers a variety of SIM-only mobile plans on no-lock-in contracts. These plans operate on parts of the Telstra 3G and 4G networks, with billing charged in advance for each month of service.

Every one of More Telecom's SIM-only plans includes unlimited standard calls and texts. Data inclusions start at 1GB and go up to 40GB, with pricing as follows:

SIM-only 1GB for $20 a month
SIM-only 3GB for $25 a month
SIM-only 6GB for $35 a month
SIM-only 9GB for $40 a month
SIM-only 15GB for $45 a month
SIM-only 20GB for $50 a month
SIM-only 30GB for $60 a month
SIM-only 40GB for $70 a month

Like most SIM-only mobile providers, More Telecom automatically charges for any data you use over your monthly cap. A 1GB top-up will be added at a price of $10 each time you exceed your cap, up to a maximum of 5GB extra per month.

If you've got friends or family overseas, More Telecom offers an international call pack alongside its mobile plans. For $10 extra a month, you get 120 minutes of calls to the following destinations: Argentina, Bangladesh, Bangladesh (mobile), Brazil, Canada, China, China (mobile), Czech Republic, Denmark, Denmark (mobile), France, Germany, Germany (mobile), Greece, Hong Kong, Hong Kong, (mobile), India, India (mobile), Indonesia, Indonesia (mobile), Ireland, Ireland (mobile), Israel, Israel (mobile), Italy, Italy (mobile), Japan, Malaysia, Malaysia (mobile), Malta, Malta (mobile), Mexico, Netherlands, Netherlands (mobile), New Zealand, New Zealand (mobile), Nigeria, Norway, Pakistan, Pakistan (mobile), Peru, Philippines, Philippines (mobile), Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Singapore (mobile), South Africa, South Africa (mobile), South Korea, South Korea (mobile), Spain, Spain (mobile), Sweden, Sweden (mobile), Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom, United Kingdom (mobile), USA, Venezuela, Vietnam, Vietnam (mobile).

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.

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.

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.

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.
