Westnet mobile review: Our verdict

If you aren't too worried about a feature-packed mobile plan and just need some uncomplicated call, text and data, Westnet is a decent choice.

Though if you're an iiNet broadband customer, you could be better off with iiNet instead. With the same mobile plan spread, and a bonus 80GB on offer on Large plans, iiNet edges just in front of Westnet in terms of value.

Westnet could suit you if

  • You like being able to get help when you need it. Westnet's accounts line is available 7 days a week.
  • You're looking for a sweet sign-up discount. You'll get 50% off plan prices for the first 6 months if you're a new Westnet customer.

But keep in mind that Westnet

  • Only has pay-as-you-go international roaming. Charges can rack up quickly overseas and you're almost always better off with a local or travel SIM.
  • Has no bonus deal for existing Westnet Internet customers. Unlike iiNet, Westnet doesn't give you any extras on its mobile plans if you already have a Westnet broadband account.

money icon

Value for money

Westnet's real draw is its introductory 50% off offer, making its plans great value when you first sign up.

  • Good to know: Westnet mobile plans cost an average of $0.69 per 1GB when you first sign up, which is great against a benchmark of $1 per 1GB. After 6 months though, this increases to $1.38 per 1GB, which is not so cheap.

coverage icon

Coverage

Westnet uses the Vodafone 4G network to provide service in Australia.

  • The Vodafone network reaches 96% of Australians, which is less than both Optus (98.5%) and Telstra (99.5%).
  • You get the same coverage that you would if you bought a plan from Vodafone.
  • While your reception should be fine in most metro areas, you could have less coverage in some rural and regional areas.

customer service icon

Customer service

Westnet has a customer service team that operates 7 days a week, 9am-9:30pm AEST Monday to Friday and 9am-6pm on weekends. To contact Westnet, you can do the following:

  • Ring up the customer support line.
  • Shoot through a message on Westnet's Facebook page.
  • Send an email if you're not worried about getting a slower response.

bonus icon

Bonus features

Westnet Mobile only has 1 extra feature available on its mobile plans.

🌏 International calls inclusions

Westnet's Extra Large plan will give you 100 international calling minutes that you can use to call most countries.

phone

What if I want to keep my current phone number?
You can choose to transfer your current phone number over to Westnet when you activate your SIM. Westnet doesn't say how long the transfer will take, but most porting processes take around 24-48 hours to complete.

If your current mobile number isn't registered under your name, it might take a couple more steps. Read our guide on how to change ownership of your mobile number.
