TeleChoice review: Our verdict

TeleChoice offers a good range of prepaid and postpaid plans suited to low, medium and high data users. Its prices become more favourable on plans with higher data limits.

Here are some reasons why you might enjoy TeleChoice:

  • Up to 500GB of data banking available on most plans.
  • Uses parts of Telstra's 3G, 4G and 5G network
  • Easily get your SIM online or purchase it from a participating TeleChoice authorised retailer

That said, TeleChoice has a few things to watch out for:

  • International roaming is only available in some countries if you have a postpaid plan. It's also limited to just calls and SMS. You'll need to call TeleChoice to activate roaming before you head overseas.

Value for money

    TeleChoice's prepaid and SIM only plans offer some decent value to customers, especially if you were to choose one of the larger plans. The provider has the added bonus its Prepaid 5G plans offering strong value for money, as long as you have a 5G compatible device.
    • Good to know: Besides its 5GB plan, the rest of TeleChoice's plans average out to a dollar-per-data value of $1.46 per 1GB. This is above the benchmark of $1 per 1GB.
    TeleChoice offers 2 types of prepaid plans: Its regular prepaid plans last for 28 days, and long expiry plans last for 180 days.

    Both are expensive for the data and features they come with.

      • Good to know: TeleChoice's prepaid plans represent an average value of $1.38 per 1GB, which is above the benchmark of of $1 per 1GB.
    coverage icon
    Coverage
    If you're in need of wide coverage, TeleChoice is a great option:
    • It uses the wholesale Telstra 3G and 4G mobile network, which covers 98.8% of the Australian population
    • This is slightly less than Telstra's full 4G network (which covers 99.5% of Aussie) but is still better than that of Optus or Vodafone
      • You should get good coverage in metro areas, but may notice a slight drop in reception in some rural and regional areas
    Does TeleChoice have 5G?
    Yes, TeleChoice offers 5G connectivity via the Telstra 5G network across 2 of its prepaid plans. You will have the option of 48GB for $40 or 120GB for $55. Both of these plans are for 30 days.

    Customer service
    Have an issue? TeleChoice has a couple of ways for you to get in touch. You can:
    • Ring up the customer service team between 9am–8pm AEST weekdays, or 10am–6pm on weekends
    • Drop a query into the live chat on the TeleChoice website and talk to a customer agent

    Which rivals are giving TeleChoice a run for its money?
    If you're still comparing your options, consider these alternative choices for TeleChoice:
    For similar but better:
    woolworths mobile logo
    Woolworths Mobile is another small provider that sells new phones on a plan, and also has some low-priced plans to go with them. Plus you get 10% off your monthly Woolworths shop.
    For wider coverage:
    boost mobiile logo
    Boost Mobile gets access to the full Telstra 4G network, making it a great alternative if you feel like the reduced Telstra wholesale network won't get it done.
    For better long expiry plans:
    Kogan mobilelogo
    If you're looking to sign up for the long-term, Kogan has an excellent collection of long expiry plans that offer cheap data compared to TeleChoice.
    Ready to sign up to TeleChoice?
    Once you've decided which TeleChoice plan you're after, you can easily sign up online and a SIM will be sent out to you. SIM delivery is free via standard postage, but can take up to 10 business days to arrive at your door.
    phone icon
    What if I want to keep my current phone number?
    You can opt to transfer your existing mobile number to TeleChoice during the activation process. TeleChoice advises that transfers normally take 4 hours or less but could take up to a couple of days to complete.
    If your current number is under someone else's name (a parent or a partner), it might take a little longer. Check our guide on how to transfer ownership of your mobile number..
