Think Mobile phone plans

Think Mobile Ultimate plans

The Ultimate plans offer unlimited standard calls and texts along with a data quota, all supplied on Vodafone's national 3G and 4G networks. Think operates these plans on a postpaid basis with a choice of month-to-month, 6-month and 12-month contracts.

Think Mobile does not apply a flat $10/GB excess usage fee for any additional data usage above your quota, instead charging 1c/MB of excess usage. That could be more cost-effective if you only go slightly over your quota as it becomes an effective $10/GB anyway.

Here's Think Mobile's current plan pricing for its Ultimate plans:

• Think Mobile Ultimate $30: 5GB on a month-to-month contract, 10GB on a 6-month contract, 20GB on a 12-month contract
• Think Mobile Ultimate $37: 10GB on a month-to-month contract, 20GB on a 6-month contract, 40GB on a 12-month contract
• Think Mobile Ultimate $48: 20GB on a month-to-month contract, 40GB on a 6-month contract, 80GB on a 12-month contract

If you commit to any of Think Mobile's fixed-term contracts, keep in mind that you'll have to pay the minimum cost of your plan even if you decide to cancel before the contract is up. Upon cancellation, the telco will charge you an early termination fee equal to your plan's standard rate multiplied by the number of months remaining in your contract.

Think Mobile Super plans

Think also offers a range of lower cost mobile plans on the Vodafone 4G network, branded as Think Mobile Super Plans. They're lower in cost and have fewer included extras, and they operate only on a month-to-month basis.

Being postpaid plans, you'll be billed at the end of each month for at least the plan value, plus any additional usage charges you may accrue. It's worth noting that Think Mobile's Super plans charge 2.5c/MB for excess usage, which is well above the industry norm of $10/GB, or effectively 1c/MB.

Here's Think Mobile's current plan pricing for its Super plans:

• Think Mobile Super $12: $200 value calls and texts, up to 200MB data
• Think Mobile Super $20: $500 value calls and texts, up to 750MB data

Think Mobile Classic plans

The Classic plans are pitched squarely at folks who are concerned about coverage in regional areas. Unlike Think Mobile's Ultimate or Super plans, the Classic plans operate on the Telstra 3G and 4G networks, which means potentially greater coverage if that's important to you.

The Classic plans operate on a postpaid, month-to-month basis. Excess data is charged at the industry standard of 1c/MB, or $10 per 1GB.

• Think Mobile Classic $15: $200 call and text credit, no data
• Think Mobile Classic $20: Unlimited calls and texts, up to 500MB data
• Think Mobile Classic $25: Unlimited calls and texts, up to 1GB data
• Think Mobile Classic $35: Unlimited calls and texts, up to 2GB data
