Highly Commended: Long Expiry Prepaid Mobile Plan
Everyday Mobile is highly commended for affordable long expiry plans and high data prepaid plans that run on the wholesale Telstra 4G network. It also offers a 10% discount, up to $50 monthly, on your Woolies grocery shop for even more value.

Everyday Mobile from Woolworths offers decent value across its 30 day prepaid range, but it has a higher starting point than some of its competitors, with the cheapest plan starting from $25 a month.
While it doesn't have a $10 or $15 entry plan like some competitors, just about each of its plans beat the $1 per GB benchmark, making it pretty good value.
All 3 of Everyday Mobile's SIM only plans offer you good value for money.
Starting from $40 a month, the most you'll pay per GB is $0.72, which is well short of the $1 per GB benchmark we like to use to measure plans against. Its most expensive plan, at $60, comes in at $0.50 per GB, which is even better value but might be more data than you need.
This is where Everyday Mobile really shines being one of the best-priced long expiry plans on the Telstra network. You can get up to 200GB of data for $220 on a 365-day plan.
Things to watch out for:
4G and 5G speeds are capped at 100Mbps and 250Mbps respectively, but this shouldn't impact you too much.
Coverage
For those who are looking for wide coverage, Everyday Mobile could suit their needs. This is because:
It uses the wholesale Telstra 3G and 4G network, which covers 98.8% of the population. By mid-2024 you will no longer be about to get 3G.
This is better coverage than that provided by Optus or Vodafone.
Metro customers shouldn't have many problems, but you may run into some reception issues in certain rural or regional areas compared to being on the full Telstra 4G/3G network (which covers 99.5% of Aussies).
Does Everyday Mobile have 5G?
Yes, Everyday Mobile offers 5G connectivity via the Telstra wholesale 5G network on its SIM only plans. However, Telstra's 5G rollout only reaches 75% of the population and you'll need an eligible device to get it working.
Customer service
If you need help from Everyday Mobile or want to resolve an issue, there's a couple ways to get in touch. Support is available between 9am–5pm AEST weekdays, or 10am–3:30pm Saturday. You can:
Chat with Mandy, the AI support chatbot. If it can't help you with your problem, you'll be put through to the Woolworths Customer Care team. This is a 24/7 service.
Ring up Woolworths for additional support. It doesn't openly advertise this option unless you're in need of financial support.
Keep in mind: Even though you can get a Everyday Mobile SIM at Woolies, you most likely won't get in-person mobile support from anyone working there.
Bonus features
Woolworths Mobile has more bonus features than most smaller providers, including:
💸 10% off your Woolworths shop
Continuing this perk from its Woolworths Mobile days, Everyday Mobile will let you claim 10% off your shopping every month, saving up to $50 on your groceries.
🔄 Save or share your excess data
Everyday Mobile has data banking and sharing facilities. This means that you can either save your unused data or give up to 50% of your plans including data to another person.
Keep in mind there's a number of exclusions to the gift giving including on bonus data and data add-on purchased.
What rivals are giving Everyday Mobile a run for its money
Although Everyday Mobile has a great set of plans available, there are some other providers with stiff competition.
For big data: Woolworths has some big data plans, but Circles.Life provides plans up to 160GB for about the same price.
For better coverage:
Boost Mobile is the only smaller provider that gets full access to the Telstra 4G network instead of the wholesale version.
For long-term value: Kogan is on the Vodafone 4G network, but it has excellent long-expiry options that provide more data for less compared to Woolworths' 365-day options.

In 365 easy mobile plan, pHILIPPINES IS NOT INCLUDED IN INTERNATION LIST. wHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET THAT COUNTRY, even by itself as the only international call.
Hi David, this page should be able to narrow down the list of providers that offer international calls to selected countries. https://www.finder.com.au/best-mobile-plans-international-calling. You’ll have to check with the provider directly to see if they offer free calls to the Philippines on their plan. For example, amaysim’s $40 for 80GB mobile plan gives you unlimited international calls to 42 countries including the Phillipines. Lycamobile’s $25 for 30GB plan also gives you unlimited minutes to the Philiipines. Best thing is to go through the page that I’ve linked and look for a price and data point that best meet your needs.

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stands by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
