Our verdict: Most of Superloop's prepaid mobile plans offer good value, especially if you want access to the Telstra network and perks like bundling discounts and data banking.
Superloop may be better known as an NBN provider, but it has been selling prepaid mobile plans on Telstra's wholesale network since 2022.
When it comes to value, Superloop does well overall and offers more features than your typical prepaid provider.
The main caveat is its entry-level plan, which costs $25 for 15GB and falls short compared to many competing offers at this price.
Its mid-range and high data plans provide much better bang for buck and also come with 5G access.
Where Superloop stands out is with extra features such as bundling discounts for internet and mobile, the ability to bank unused data for future use, and unlimited international calls to selected countries.
All Superloop plans also have a 30-day billing cycle, unlike the more common 28-day cycle used by many prepaid providers. This means you pay 12 bills a year instead of 13.
Pros
Access to Telstra's wholesale 4G and 5G networks
Data banking up to 1000GB
Unlimited international calls and texts to selected countries
Option to sign up via an eSIM
Mobile app to track data use and manage plan
Bundle mobile and internet to save up to $15 a month
Cons
Roaming is only available on a pay-as-you-go basis
Superloop's mobile plans run on Telstra's wholesale network, which covers 98.8% of Australia's population - slightly less than the full Telstra network's 99.7% coverage.
However, this should be good enough for most people unless you're in certain rural or remote areas.
Most plans also include access to 5G, except the entry-level plan.
Its 4G download speeds are capped at 100Mbps while 5G speeds are capped between 150Mbps and 250Mbps, depending on the plan.
All of these speeds are fast enough to comfortably handle all phone activities, including 4K video streaming.
What features and perks does Superloop offer?
The majority of Superloop's mobile plans provide a good mix of perks and features for the asking price. Here's a rundown of what you get:
Data banking
This feature lets you roll over unused data for future use.
You can store up to 500GB on two of its entry-level plans and 1000GB on the rest.
The banked data will remain in your account unless you downgrade your plan or cancel it.
Some rival telcos have a data bank limit of 200GB or under, while a few offer unlimited data banking. This puts Superloop somewhere in the middle in terms of value.
Unlimited international calls and texts
All plans include unlimited calls and texts to the following destinations: Bangladesh, Canada, China, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, UK and USA.
You can also purchase 300 call minutes and unlimited standard SMS to 30 countries for $6.
Bundling discount
Superloop NBN customers can save $5 off their internet bill per month when they bundle their plan with an eligible Superloop mobile service.
You can increase your savings to as much as $15 a month when you bundle additional mobile plans for other family members.
Other noteworthy features include support for eSIMs for compatible phones, free shipping of physical SIM cards and access to the SuperHub app, which can be used to monitor usage, view invoices, pay bills and change plans.
The app is unmetered, so you can access it even if your plan has run out of data.
Must read
Auto-renew is switched on by default when you sign up, so you'll need to turn it off if you don't want your plan to recharge automatically. If you run out of data, top-ups are pricey at $10 for 1GB or $25 for 5GB.
How good is Superloop Mobile's customer service?
Superloop Mobile does not appear in complaint data published by either the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) or the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman (TIO), so there's currently no formal measure of its customer service performance.
Its customer support team is based in Australia (Adelaide), Sri Lanka and the Philippines.
You can get in touch with Superloop Mobile in the following ways:
Call 1800 57 87 37 between 8:30am-10pm AEST, 7 days a week (including public holidays)

Important information about this website
Finder is a comparison service. We do not compare every product or every provider in the market.
We make money through commercial arrangements with some of the providers on this site. Products marked 'Sponsored', 'Promoted', 'Featured' or 'Advertisement' appear as a result of a commercial arrangement.
Our editorial content, product reviews and any 'Top Pick' designations are prepared independently of these commercial arrangements.
The default order of products in our tables can be influenced by commercial arrangements. You can re-sort or filter using the controls above each table.
Some content on this site may be generated or supported by AI tools. You should verify details directly with the provider.
Finder is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stand by our editorial principles.
Our comparison service does not include every product or every provider in the market. Some product issuers offer their products under multiple brands or through associated companies. Where we can, we identify the underlying issuer so you can compare like with like, but you should always check with the provider directly to confirm which brand you are dealing with.
Finder is a comparison website and an intermediary. We are not a product issuer and we do not provide personal financial or credit advice. When you click a link to a product, or apply for a product through our site, you deal directly with the product issuer. We may receive a referral fee, commission or other payment from the issuer if you click through, apply or take out a product. We describe these arrangements in more detail under 'How we make money' below.
Product features, fees, terms and eligibility criteria are set by the product issuer and may change. We rely on information supplied by issuers when we present product details on our site. Before you apply for or take out any product, you should confirm the details directly with the issuer.
We earn revenue from Finder in four principal ways:
Referral fees and commissions. When you click a product link, complete an enquiry form or apply for a product through our site, we may receive a referral fee, commission or other payment from the product issuer. We may also receive payment based on the volume of leads or conversions we send to an issuer.
Sponsored placements. Products marked 'Sponsored', 'Promoted', 'Featured' or 'Advertisement' appear as a result of a commercial arrangement between Finder and the issuer. These labels always indicate a paid placement. We do not use them for editorial choices.
Display advertising. Banner advertising, newsletter advertising and similar display ads on our site are paid by advertisers.
Content sponsorship. Some articles, videos and social media posts are sponsored by an issuer and are clearly labelled as such.
Our editorial opinions, product reviews and any 'Top Pick' designations are prepared independently of these commercial arrangements. A 'Top Pick' is an editorial choice made by our writers and editors based on the criteria described on each comparison page. A 'Top Pick' is not a personal recommendation and does not mean the product is appropriate for your circumstances.
If you would like to know whether we have a commercial arrangement with a specific product issuer, please contact us.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the default order can be influenced by commercial arrangements we have with product issuers. In some categories, sponsored or featured products appear in the top positions of the table by default, and are always labelled as such.
Other factors that influence default order include price, fees and features, and (where relevant) our editorial view of the product.
You can re-sort every comparison table using the controls above the table. You can filter by product features that matter to you. The order you see after re-sorting or filtering is not influenced by commercial arrangements.
