Superloop Mobile: Our verdict
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 $30 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.
