Compare TeleChoice's mobile plans.
TeleChoice is a MVNO that offers plans on both 12- and 24-month contracts, as well as no lock-in, all running on Telstra's 3G/4G network.
Where TeleChoice truly stands out from other MVNOs is that it operates a network of 34 physical retail stores across the country. You can use these to sign up and to get ongoing face-to-face support from real people.
TeleChoice even offers a small range of phones on contract. There are 11 handsets on offer from Samsung and Oppo.
TeleChoice no-lock in phone plans
TeleChoice has five pricing tiers across both the no lock-in options and the two contract offerings.
On the bottom end, there's the $20 per month pricing. That's 2GB of data and includes all local calls and local SMS and MMS. Up the top end, $48 a month will score you a massive 18GB, plus 200 minutes of international calls through 17 different countries. No matter what plan you're on, you'll pay an excess of $10/GB if you go over your data limit.

How does TeleChoice compare?
TeleChoice offers significantly more data than many similar priced MVNOs. That said, make sure you're looking carefully at the coverage map, because there are areas where you'll get access to 3G. TeleChoice makes this very simple to find out, luckily.
If we're talking big data offerings, then TeleChoice leads the pack against fellow MVNOs SpinTel and Dodo, especially on a no-contract option.
This is the same across TeleChoice's contracts options, when compared to Dodo and Vaya.
If we take a look at the lower-priced contracts, TeleChoice matches Dodo with a very impressive 6GB for under-$30, almost double what other competitors are fielding.
Why should you consider TeleChoice?
Assuming you're in the right coverage area (or aren't worried about 3G speeds) then TeleChoice compares extremely well to other MVNOs especially on data. You might also find that the option of a physical store is helpful if there is one close to you.
TeleChoice recharge options
As a pre-paid service TeleChoice bills each month for the pricing tier you've chosen. If you go over your data there's a set fee of $10 which gets you an extra 1GB. There's a service portal where you can check usage.
Payment options for each month include:
- Automatic direct debit payment
- Credit card
- PayPal
- In person at your Post Office or TeleChoice store
